His name rings a bell

Howard Lake | 11 November 2009 | Blogs

I was at my ninth sucsessive International Fundraising Congress in Holland last month where one of my fellow delegates went by the name of Phun Rae Tsing.

Phun Rae – a fundraiser for a Singaporean animal welfare charity – was a ‘mystery’ delegate casting a few wry comments through the medium of Twitter, though to be honest, I don’t think his identity was that closely a guarded secret.

Through my back channel network of contacts, I have discovered that Phun Rae Tsing wasn’t the only ‘mystery delegate’ being lined up for the IFC.

Others were:

Donna Fateeq

May d’Joneur

Bea Kwest

Stuart Ship

Chuck Kerr

I’d really like to hear Donna Fateeq’s views on charity fundraising. Maybe one day I will.
