Dear Regional Members:

Greetings from Oklahoma! We hope your New Year is the best ever and that your year-end fund drive set records.

For your calendar, we hope you have marked the AHP Rockies & Southwest Regional Conference to be held at the Four Seasons in Austin, TX. The dates are May 4-7, 2003. Come hear the very best at fundraising and plan to take the CFRE exam if you haven't done so already.

Regional Conferences are the best time to network and take home some of the best fundraising programs that are out there. Please plan to attend.

See you in Austin!

Richard Boone
Regional Director

We regret the passing of Gerg Gunnin, Dallas, TX after a long and bravely fought battle with a devastating disease. He was a friend, associate, mentor, and will be greatly missed. He provided years of leadership to our region and our highest professional achievement award is named in his honor.

His wife, Barbara, and family have asked that in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Gerry Gunnin Excellence in Nursing Endowment, Presbyterian Foundation, 8440 Walnut, Suite 800, Lock Box 6, Dallas, TX 75231.
