With the fundraising season up ahead, the nonprofits are gearing up to meet their financial goals. In order to get the funds, they need to get the word out. Unfortunately, not all can afford a fancy schmancy New York PR firm to promote their cause via branding, media and marketing. So Queenie got together with her buddies at PRSA Dallas and Communities Foundation of Texas. … [Read more...] about Register Now For Free Marketing And Public Relations Workshop For Nonprofits Featuring PRSA Dallas And Media Representatives

Calling All Burglars
We know how you troll websites and blogs looking for snippets about richly types being away from home. You know those little items about "Susu Soso" heading to the Hamptons to get away from Dallas heat. Or, "Hortensia Healthnut" is hiking up in the mountains in her spiffy shorts with the kids. Or, "Geoffrey Gurgle" is going to attend a Far Niente wine tasting in Napa that he … [Read more...] about Calling All Burglars
MySweetCharity Policy Announcement: Only Nets To Be Accepted
Queenie arrived with an entourage this morning all huffy. Not the entourage. They’re nice elves, unicorns and angelfish. Queenie looked at the Elder Elf and handed him a freshly laid egg. The old elf thanked her and asked her, “How am I to interpret this item, O Mighty One Who Makes My Eyes Water?” With her painfully perfect posture, the old gal said, “When we receive … [Read more...] about MySweetCharity Policy Announcement: Only Nets To Be Accepted
Today MySweetCharity Celebrates Its 5th Anniversary Because And With You

Queenie Discovers The Remedy For North Texas Disease
This morning Queenie arrived fresh from a world conference on disease control. With chin lifted to Alps heights, she admitted, “I simply feel like Madame Curie!” One of the MSC newbie elves asked Elder Elf, “Who’s Madame Curie? Did she run a New Orleans leisure house?” Making a crinkly face, Elder told the newbie to sit quietly in the corner and just listen. “Oh, One … [Read more...] about Queenie Discovers The Remedy For North Texas Disease
Announcement: The Return Of MySweetWishList Series
The MySweetCharity elves are really pumped. Last year they introduced the MySweetWishList for December to help out Santa, who just couldn’t handle all the requests. The series was such a success that the elves wore their itty-bitty, gel-nails down to the nail plates. When the call came from their North Pole cousin elves about helping out again this year, they immediately … [Read more...] about Announcement: The Return Of MySweetWishList Series

Following Thursday’s Storm, Queenie Recommends Celebration For MySweetCharity Elves
This morning as Queenie arrived at MySweetCharity headquarters, Elder Elf greeted her but warned her to be prepared — the elves were in shambles. (Please recall that when MSC elves tear up, guacamole-like substance flows from their teeny tiny eyes. The place looked like Ojedas on a Friday at noon.) When Queenie asked the reason for the overload of green stuff, Elder said, … [Read more...] about Following Thursday’s Storm, Queenie Recommends Celebration For MySweetCharity Elves
How To Survive Those Close-Up Moments
Due to popular demand, this post is taking place. It has absolutely nothing to do with nonprofit fundraising. But it provides some tips for those who nonprofit fundraise and are "forced" to face eager-beaver photographers. Also, man-in-the-know John Clutts (no, that's not John in the photo) recommends that when having your photo taken, look at the top of the … [Read more...] about How To Survive Those Close-Up Moments
A Broken Heart Is Broken Again
This morning’s mailbag brought in a missive that had the MSC elves in a dizzy tizzy. Putting on his specs, Elder Elf read it to the group: "Hello, “ My name is #*%{>~^. I've attached the following story on your Sweet Charity site from two years ago. I would like to kindly request to have it removed from the internet , or at the very least to remove the section about my … [Read more...] about A Broken Heart Is Broken Again
