This is a great opportunity to connect with others who may be newer to fundraising or are under the age of 35, and an informal opportunity to learn about the AFP mentor program (for mentees and potential mentors!) and scholarships to the local AFP conference in June. The invitation is attached below - please RSVP to Jamie if you&amp;#39;re interested!</description></item><item><title>Forum Post: RE: Thank you!</title><link>https://communitytest.tessitura.com/local_tessitura_user_groups/dallas_area_users/f/dallas_area_users-forum/35322/thank-you/91892</link><pubDate>Fri, 15 Mar 2024 17:46:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">fd08b0f2-65fa-4b2b-916a-cce3e88b61d0:8865c2d2-887b-4f35-82aa-508413107999</guid><dc:creator>Amanda Hyde</dc:creator><description>Thanks, Katie!
