If you don't see this newsletter in your email inbox for a while, don't worry! The Grants & Nonprofit Info Center is taking a short break from programming and emails in July. We'll be back in August with more grant opportunities and nonprofit news. During this period you can stay connected to us on our Facebook page. If you haven't done so yet, please don't forget to fill out the survey by Saturday, June 30th to help me decide when to schedule nonprofit programs and what topics you want to see covered in 2013. Thank you for those of you who have already completed the survey! I'll see you all in August!
P.S. If you absolutely cannot survive a month without attending a workshop, check out the local Nonprofit Training Calendar for training opportunities outside of the library.
