Hildy's 100th Post
Party!
Something
incredible happened to us back in April. We were on the road and swamped with
work. So Hildy stopped blogging for a few weeks.
And here's what
happened:
People wrote to say how much they
missed the blog. "Is Hildy ok? When will she be back
soon?"
Imagine that! To say Hildy was
flattered and shocked would be an understatement.
Well, we celebrated Hildy's 100th
blog post this week. And fittingly, it was a Monday Morning Rock Out - her
favorite part of blogging!

So let's party! The party will
include music and gifts and an invitation to come back and
play again!
The music is care of the blog's own
Monday Morning Rock Out. Here are a few of our favorites to get your toes
tapping and to make you smile:
The gift is something you can share
with boards, with funders - with anyone who insists we all focus our efforts on
fiscal accountability.
It is the white paper condensing
Hildy's series of blog posts on the "myth" of donor
rights.
We accomplish what we hold ourselves
accountable for. If we hold ourselves primarily accountable for improving the
quality of life in our communities, then along the way we will absolutely be
accountable to donors and funders - and everyone else.
Download the white paper here.
Lastly, if you are not already
subscribed to the blog (separate from your subscription to the Help 4
NonProfits Newsletter), now is the time to sign up.
Why now?
Because you will immediately be
notified when new items are posted (generally twice a week - and those posts
are always meaty!).
Also because Hildy has been posting
so much good stuff, it no longer fits in the "Best of the Blog" link at our
newsletter.

All that was just this
month!
And at the risk of sounding like the
Ginsu Knife commercials, "But wait - there's
more!"
We will be publishing the early
chapters of "The Pollyanna Principles" at the blog as soon as the book is
done!
You can sign up by email
here.
Or you can sign up by RSS
here.
You
can always unsubscribe. But given how our readers reacted when Hildy stopped
posting for just a few weeks, we are pretty sure you will not want
to!
Thanks for celebrating our 100th post with us. We look forward to
seeing what the next 100 bring!!! |
