Hello Community!

 
As bbcon 2017 draws nearer and everyone’s autocorrect desperately tries to convince you it should be bacon, I’m spotlighting what we will be doing in person and in the Community.

 
Get connected at bbcon 2017 by joining a meetup. Join Ami Defesche on the expo floor or join the rest of your community managers in our online meetups. You can find all the meetup dates right here in the bbcon Community.

 
Enough of bacon…bbcon. Let’s talk about what’s happening in the Community:

 
Make an Appearance

• Join us on November 8, 2017 for the Blackbaud Vision Marketing & Fundraising Summit in Boston! Coffee, cuisine, and amazing content all included.
• Hear from one of your fellow community members, Sara Johansen, about engaging your donors in your end-of-year campaign on October 3, 2017.

Stay Informed

• Watch on your own time. Learn how to write and design effective emails to communicate with visitors, members, and donors in this on-demand recording.
• Is your database ready for year-end? Get a head start with tips & tricks in our latest Raiser’s Edge blog.

Get Involved

• Automate thank you messages and more in our Communications for Newbies in the eTapestry Community.
• The note says ‘do not contact’ but is there a way you’ve successfully re-engaged these contacts? Share those ideas in this discussion.

Alright favorite community, that’s it for this week! See you around the Community!

I love the "everyone’s autocorrect desperately tries to convince you it should be bacon"  I can see that being a hashtag like the #whynodessertsatBBCON #wherestheBBCONbacon

Andrew Bosch

You should rename it BaCon.

#wheresthebbconbacon literally made my day. I'm going to suggest we change the whole conference to BaCon - half bacon, half social good. We might be onto something you all!
