Please see details below - registration is open through June 1. Spring is coming and so is an exciting new event designed just for YOU! It's a free virtual mini-conference on fundraising! We have missed you all and we wanted to offer an opportunity for us to gather and learn from our peers about innovative ways to fundraise for our libraries. COVID-19 caused many of us to have dramatic decreases in our fundraising efforts over the course of 2020 but it also provided an opportunity for most Friends and Foundation groups to pivot and completely revisit their fundraising and development strategies. Join us for this virtual mini-con to hear about some of these strategies and programs. It is our hope that you will be inspired to replicate an idea or two from our mini-con and build those budgets back up. And the mini-conference is free! As an added bonus, New York Times Best-Selling author of "The Paris Library" Janet Skelsien Charles will be joining us live all the way from Paris, France! Below is the link to register. We will be using Zoom for this event. Space is limited, register today! Last day to register is June 1. www.swapfundraising.eventbrite.com<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.swapfundraising.eventbrite.com%2F&data=04%7C01%7Cwhites29%40michigan.gov%7C6f276b754d8c48a72bd708d90fe2895a%7Cd5fb7087377742ad966a892ef47225d1%7C0%7C1%7C637558287914253973%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=MZC%2B8edU7zyj8VJQYYQ2%2BDbpLUU%2BTYMOaazScn4xFa4%3D&reserved=0> What: A Free Virtual Mini-Conference on Fundraising Date: Wednesday, June 9 12:30 pm - 2 pm Pacific Time Theme: Fundraising Where: Via Zoom We apologize for any cross posting We look forward to "seeing" you on June 9!
