Hello,

last newsletter, you will find it

Welcome to our first
newsletter with our new name - Creating the Future! Over the next few months we
will be changing a lot around here, as we file for tax exemption and moving
forward as a Community Benefit Organization dedicated to helping this sector
reach its potential.
Heres what we have to share
with you this month, to help you create an amazing future for your
community.
Creating
the Future Our New Name! |
Our name change
has significance beyond simply rebranding. All the decisions that
led to the name were
made by engaging discussion publicly and transparently.
How can your
organizations decisions be more transparent and engaged? Fascinating
stuff - read it now! |

Cool
Distraction |
Our office still has an
IBM Selectric typewriter. Hildy still uses it now and then.
One day, 25 year old Nick walked in, and seeing Hildy typing, said,
So thats what that noise is!
This
months cool distraction is therefore dedicated both to those who could
never imagine not knowing what that sound is, AND to those who grew up in a newer age. Enjoy!
