NONPROFIT CALENDAR
You asked for a common calendar feature for the nonprofit community in Whatcom County to help all of us coordinate our events better. You got what you asked for! Now you can be sure you're not hosting major events on the same date as others. It will only work if we all use it. It's free, and you add and update your own events. Click here to set up your account or to view the calendar.
WCN eNEWS
What else did you ask for? A single source for nonprofit events, training and education, resources needed and offered, jobs in the local nonprofit sector, funding opportunities, and more. Your WCN eNews is a free weekly email newsletter. No spam! To subscribe to WCN eNews or to submit content, email: wcn@whatcomcoalition.org
WCN PEER LEARNING BROWN BAG DISCUSSION - SUCCESSFUL FUNDRAISING
noon-1 p.m., Thursday, June 11, United Way Board Room, 1511 Cornwall. Let's take a new approach and consider the successes organizations are having even in today's economy. Byron Mannering, Executive Director of the Brigid Collins Family Support Center, will share his agency's strategies and successes and then open up the discussion for all of us to talk about how we are weathering the storm. We encourage anyone who attended any of the Susan Howlett fund raising series to come and join in the conversation so we can all learn from each other. As always, WCN Peer Learning Brownbags are free and open to the public, and are handicap accessible. FMI: contact Kathy Washatka at kathy_washatka@nwti.org or (360)734-5121 x244.
