Good Morning Community!


Over the past few months, we've all been looking for ways to de-stress and occupy our spare time.  Community Managers here at Blackbaud seem to be curating their green thumbs; as Crystal has been learning to care for her venus fly trap (named Barnaby, progress picture below), while Ray has been planting and caring for a dozen rosemary bushes.  Some members of the Community posted what's keeping them sane during these "unprecedented times", and we want to know what YOU are doing as well.  Comment below on what's keeping your sanity in tact during this year.



And now, on to THE BUZZ...
