Community Happenings: December 5 2017

Shannon Emery

Hello Community!

 
Before getting to the Community, I wanted to share something from one of my previous posts: the eyeless turkey luminary.

Before:


After:


Of course, this is my staged picture during the light of day and not in the early morning hours, glowing suspiciously in the kitchen and looking like something that would haunt your dreams.

 
At the end of the day, Grandma Dos thought it was adorable and proudly displayed this and its twin at Turkey Day dinner.

 
(Side note: Shout out to all the grandparents who lovingly take crafts without wondering out loud why 30-year-olds are making crafts meant for a 5-year-old.)

 
Now onto the current holiday season and the fact that I’ve turned into an obnoxious elf – complete with red hair to match the season. This also means I’m fully behind our Season of Giving contest! Make sure you participate and get rewarded.

 
Now let’s talk about what’s going on in the Community:

 
Make an Appearance

• Join us on December 7 for the Raiser’s Edge NXT Quarterly Update and learn what’s being developed for the product.
• Who doesn’t love a good celebration? Make sure to register for the 2^nd Annual Robert C. Hernandez Award Ceremony on December 15. Chair dancing may be included.

Stay Informed

• Not to take a dark turn but like death, tax season is imminent. Make sure you learn what tax season resources are available right here in the Community.
• Learn some database management and cleanup tricks in our latest blog from the one and only Chris Geady.

Get Involved

• Most of the Community Team is in Austin, TX and they’re heading out to decorate a tree in your honor this holiday season. Tell them what should be on the tree here!
• Make sure to learn about and connect with our latest Member Spotlight, Katie Moller! Her cats are really photogenic – better than some selfies I’ve seen.

Alright, Community, that’s it for now. See you next week!
