So now having patted ourselves on the back for a job well done , we are back , hat in hand , asking for your help this year ! As I said above , it seems every year your generosity exceeds our expectations . We shouldn ’ t be surprised , after all you would not be a Fellow in the College but for your proven ability to share your gifts of talent and treasure with your community . By now I hope you have received inquiries to give towards our 2023 campaign and responded . However , for those of you have not given yet , I wanted to suggest some ideas to make your donation more meaningful for you and offer some guidance . Many of us try to give in the amount of a billable hour , a concept that is easy to grasp and calculate . Others have decided to join the Four Figure Club by giving at least $ 1000 , which in 2022 was 215 members strong . Some circuits have come up with special challenges , including the Fifth Circuit ’ s 5 for the 5th Challenge asking for $ 5,000 or the 11th circuit ’ s new 1111b Election Campaign suggesting the giving of $ 1111 .
Finally in closing let me take this opportunity to thank all the staff , especially Jenny , for their hard work . Our board has done a great job this year and they could not have done it without the staff ’ s help . And finally thank goodness for Vince , who tries so hard to keep me in line … with moderate success . Blessings to all of you during this holiday season , Jan .
