New Blogs
I haven’t been blogging a lot recently as the Tech Chef because this year I’ve picked up several new blog costumers. It’s a classic case of the plumber with leaky pipes, or in my area the grass seed farmer without a lawn (that would be my uncle, 1,000 acres of grass seed… no lawn at his house.)
My new blog clients are Fundraising Success team, Conquering Nonprofit Chaos (blog and podcast), Mike Silva International (blog and #1 Man podcast), and Matthew 10 International.
Everyone on a nonprofit board of any type (Agriculture, Christian, Social Good, Reading/Library) should really check out the Fundraising Success team, and the Conquering Nonprofit Chaos podcast. Both offer great free advice to help you get your nonprofit rolling on the right track.
I’ve already been learning a lot about what it takes to have a successful organization. I knw that these ideas and tips could help a lot of you too. I know that many of you subscribed to my blog are on ag related boards (Agri-Women, Agchat, Farm Bureau, etc.) The tactics taught on the Fundraising Success Team, and Conquering Nonprofit Chaos page would go a long way in helping us with our agvocacy goals.
“This online community is designed especially for nonprofit development directors by people with a combined 75 years of experience in the nonprofit sector. Here these authors, consultants, teachers and trainers will share with you the kinds of ideas, tips, tactics and strategies that have proven successful for hundreds of nonprofit development directors.”

The fun things I get to do at my part time job at an after school program includes playing with liquid nitrogen. Of course its really a demonstration of the states of matter… but still loads of fun.

Reading #FlashMob in Albany,OR
Feb. 20th from 11-noon at the Downtown Library
302 Ferry St SW Albany, Albany, OregonBring a book, bring a dollar; help save our library.
Albany’s first reading flash mob will be Monday Feb 20th from 11-noon at the Downtown Library. All ages are invited.
Getting involved is easy. Show up at the library between 11 am and noon on Feb 20th. Read for 15 mins to an hour (Bring your own book or check one out.) Drop a dollar in the jar, and you’re done. Of course you can do us a favor by passing this on to a friend.
We’d love to have 200 people or more all reading at the same time, in the same place to show our community support.
See the Facebook event page for the latest info, or watch my blog for more event details. I am super excited to be in charge of this great event. Working with me on this event are the library, the downtown association, the visitors associations, the Community After School Program and even a local writer. And my favorite book site LibraryThing.com has offered to promote it too! What a great group coming together not only for the cause of reading, but to help save a beloved Library from budget cuts.
