Stewardship Update: Thanksgiving was never meant to be shut up in a single day. ~Robert Caspar Lintner

Welcome to Stewardship’s favorite month of the year! I hope you are taking advantage of Thanksgiving and the holiday season to show our donors appreciation for their generosity to Temple. On that note, if your unit is taking advantage of the student produced holiday cards, they should be available the week of November 12.

As mentioned last month, Thank A Donor Week was piloted on Ambler’s campus and was a huge success. We exceeded our goal and collected 306 handwritten thank you notes to send to Ambler’s donors. Planning is continuing for the event on Main Campus the week of April 8. More information to come!

For those of you who have heard good things about Temple Contemporary (formerly Temple Gallery) and are thinking about taking your donors to an upcoming exhibition, I encourage you to check out one of their CofFREE Mondays every week between 7:45 and 9:45 to get a relaxed tour of the latest works and a free cup of artisan blend coffee to see if it would be a good fit for your stewardship and cultivation efforts.

Hope to see everyone out at the Faculty and Staff donor pre–game reception and football game vs. Cincinnati on November 10!

Happy Stewarding!
