Hi all,

ok this has taken me far too long, but a while ago I set up a linked in group for you all to make use of and share information.  Finally I've gotten around the need to provide linked in with email addresses to invite you all.

Basically my beef has been that this blog is all well and good but I have somewhat of a monopoly over what gets discussed.... and this isn't my group... It's our group.

...So for all of you who cant make group meetings but want to be involved and network

...for those of you who'd like to pose a questions to other user group members

...for those with ideas on group sessions or topics

...for all of you who want to ask other no profits for advice on everyday issues

...for all of you looking to see where others have gone

sign up for a linked in account and join our group. ( If you have never used it before Linked in is social networking for professional people. kind of like facebook, but its much more aimed at professional lives as opposed to personal lives.) I looked at all sorts of suggestions, but settled on Linked in, because it does what we need without complex setup.

I've set this so only people we authorize can get into the group. ( to get authorized I'll need to be able to find  you on our usergroup listings) that way we can stop any commercial hawkers abusing our little online community.

Hoping you will all take a little time to get involved. I'm really hoping this will become a major resource for you all.

Only one rule I'm going to set. " If you take... you must give..." so if you ask questions, stick around long enough to get involved in helping other users, and share your knowledge.

I'll check every day or so to authorize new sign ups.

see you all online
