“Sandy, your Fundraising Buffet has well paid back dividends to our Habitat for Humanity affiliate. I bought it for our new Development Coordinator and she keeps it with her. Both of us love the format – you can focus on one topic and get a quick read in, plus we both refer to it often. I probably need to get my own copy now.  I have passed along a few books to this staff person in her first few months and by far this IS her favorite and easiest to digest! It truly is a ‘buffet’ of information. Thank you for your work in helping others raise money for great causes!” – Pam Ealey, Habitat For Humanity, Cookeville, TN
