NINJA UPDATE:

Ninjas and Ninjos, we have a WINNER!  After many weeks of training, we put everyone who had completed their ninja badge into a hat (or bucket) and drew a name for the $100 Amazon gift card.  And the winner is... Celeste Wolfinger!  Be sure to congratulate here on her profile page HERE.


Congrats to you Celeste, and to all of the new Ninjas that have joined our exclusive club.  For those of you still looking to become Community Ninjas, you can always follow along the steps to Ninja enlightenment.  It's always open for you to join us.

Congrats, Celeste!

Congratulations to Celeste! Speaking of Ninjas,  I just saw a group of people on Blackbaud Community called Green Ninjas. What are Green Ninjas?

Marilyn Bellemore‍  Green ninjas were getting super secret ninja tasks to their inboxes while the Community was training to be ninjas. These were the existing ninjas who were given specific tasks to level up to green. We will be opening up the Green Ninja pool again soon!
