DJF In the News
Thanks to efforts of Publicity Chairman Carol Everett, the greater Dallas community has been able to read all about DJF in two publications. Mid-December, we appeared in print and online in Park Cities People dated January, 2021, although it came out mid-December. CultureMap Dallas also featured DJF in December. In addition, Jenna at DCAC gave a shout out to DJF when she was interviewed by NBC 5, and Marla Nunally was featured in a Facebook video with Hope’s Door.
Petite Event – Mickman Brothers Wreaths and Greenery
We ended up selling 83 items which is an amazing amount considering this was a new experience for us all, due to the Covid. Two years ago in 2018, we sold 57 items so I would say that this is a win win!! Appreciate all those that participated.
Our total is $664.
Thank you! Thank you!!
End of Year Giving
I am so pleased to share with all of you that we are finishing out the year with a grand total of $14,848 for our EYG fund. These donations came from DJF members and outside donors. That amount also includes the $664 from the wreaths. Again, thank you for your generosity.

DJF in the News
Publicity: Kudos to Carol Everett for the recent DJF press release she wrote and sent with photos to several area media outlets. This Monday the editor of Park Cities People and Preston Hollow People told Carol that they plan to run the story in mid-December. It will be in print and online. We can hardly wait to see “DJF” in print! Others may use it too without contacting us first, so please tell us if you see it in print or elsewhere.

At the end of 2020 we will close the old checking account. If you have any reimbursement checks that have “Capital One, N.A.” at the top, please deposit as soon as possible.
