Community Happenings: August 29 2017
Hi Community!
I’m going to keep my Community Happenings short this week. Between a lovely bout of insomnia and world events, I’m a wee bit tapped out today.
Talking about world events - it’s heartbreaking to see the devastation in South and Central Texas from Hurricane Harvey. Yet it’s inspiring watching people help one another selflessly at the most dire of times.
Blackbaud has created a list of organizations that are assisting with the relief efforts if you want to help. If your organization is part of the relief efforts, comment below with your organization’s name and website and I’ll get that information to our team.
Now let’s talk about what’s happening in the Community:
