Fall 2008 Fundraising Campaign. Imagine....
On October 27th, NCPF mailed our New NCPF Brochure to 1,400 friends who have been touched by one of our programs or events over the past 13 years. We have asked each of you to Imagine a more resilient community. Together we can create what we are imagining. Membership in the Friends of NCPF is open to all who seek a deeper understanding of themselves, their relationships and the many forces affecting individuals and our community. NCPF is applying the concepts of psychoanalysis in the community around us. We invite you to join online today, help your community and enjoy some member-only benefits.
