Mrs. Edge
Bono's Belly Dancing Friend
Today I gave one of my donor newsletters to a colleague at work to proofread. He's has a very dry sense of humor, and is generally very quiet and serious.
The more he read the newsletter the more he laughed. "I have never seen so many adjectives in my entire life, or so much drama! This is just like a trashy novel! Ha ha ha ha ha!!!!"
It's true though. In a 3 page article about our recently completed building campaign, I managed to fit in the following adjectives:
ambitious
beautiful
community-minded citizens
enduring
enthusiastic
exceptional
exciting
extraordinary
generous
immediate
lasting
loyal
memorable
outstanding
spectacular
spirited
stunned and thrilled
swift
symbolic
unique
wonderful
Well, if nothing else, it will entertain the donors!
