Summer Soundtrack

*Santeria* was playing on my way back from lunch. Ok, from my way back from Starbucks getting a Carm Frap after lunch. :) I had to stay in the car until the song was over before going inside. Ah, the soundtrack of Summer. Does it seem possible that we are already entering JUNE this week?

And speaking of soundtracks…

I found this on the Donor Power blog. So true. :)

Nonprofits sing the blues

Don’t miss this list at McSweeney’s: My Nonprofit R&B Group’s Set List. “On Bended Knee in Gratitude for Your Generous Donation” “Let’s Submit the Grant Application of Love” “Your At-Risk Youth Outreach Program Makes Me Sweat” “Ooh, Girl, Our Bylaws Don’t Prohibit Your Involvement in My Daily Operations” “I Wanna Name a Park After U” “I’ll Make Love to Your Matching Funds” “Got 2 Chair Your Committee” “Tonite’s the Nite We Update Our Mailing List” “U Revised My Mission Statement”

My friend Katie (who is currently a lawyer) wrote a book and is shopping around to get the materpiece published. Legal thriller. The kind of book that Lisa Scottoline (her favorite author) writes. So it was VERY COOL to see that a picture of Lisa and Katie made it to Lisa’s website.

Tis only a matter of time until I get to travel with Katie on HER book tours, I just know it! CONGRATS Katie on a HUGE accomplishment!

What about YOU?

Pretty Darn Swell

Love this webpage! Art for a good cause. ;)

Each print is a beautiful, open edition reproduction of the artist’s original…Next to each work of art you’ll notice a little paragraph about a charitable organization. That’s because five dollars from the sale of each print goes to charity! There are so many wonderful organizations out there, we’ve decided to let the artists choose where the money should go! We are also giving five dollars from the sale of each print to the artists themselves hopefully allowing them to continue creating!

So whether you’re an art aficionado or a budding Picasso you’ve come to the right place! Visit the gallery and start your print collection today, or submit your own work and help a cause that matters most to you. The more submissions we receive, the more art fills the world, and the more charities we can help. We think that’s pretty darn swell.
