PAM Annual Fund

Dear PAM Friends,
 
We have much to celebrate this year in the life of our organization! PAM has welcomed new members, successfully hosted the Professionals Gathering in Princeton, held the Montreat and Mo-Ranch Worship and Music Conferences, and launched many new programs this year as we continue to live into our mission. We have included a number of you, our stakeholders, in the work of the Executive Board through our committees. This coming February, we will host the first Regional PAM Professional Gatherings. We have also changed the process by which we elect Executive Board members, so that you may provide greater influence as to who is nominated and elected. The Executive Board wants and needs your support through your time, talent and treasure. PAM's Annual Fund plays a critical role in supporting these events and our mission throughout the year. Your 2011 Annual Fund gift will immediately allow us to:

• Strengthen and enrich worship by offering our Montreat Worship and Music Conference, Mo-Ranch Worship and Music Conference, PAM Professionals Gathering, and our new Regional Gatherings
• Form faithful disciples by subsidizing the cost of Children and Youth attendance at conferences
• Educate and empower members by launching a comprehensive webinar series and providing seed money grants for local workshops

As most of you know, this is Alan Barthel's last year as Executive Director. I invite you to make your Annual Fund gift in recognition of Alan's eleven years of service to PAM. Every gift is a meaningful gift, so support PAM's Annual Fund with a gift today.

PAM President
