$$ 2009 Down Economy Begins to Improve for Nonprofits $$
In 2008 benefit auctioneer Tom DiNardo commented (DiNardo & Lord Auctioneers Press Release) on the declining economy before "the recession" had been officially acknowledged. Dispelling myths regarding the recession's potential effects on nonprofits and charities DiNardo states, "Making money for our nonprofit clients is a process of effectively showing them how to do it better." DiNardo & Lord Auctioneers set records at every one of their fund-raising auctions conducted in 2008.
This year 2009 has begun to witness an economic recovery beginning this month. "In keeping with our tradition DiNardo & Lord Auctioneers continues to set records at all of our charity auctions," says Tom DiNardo.
