"Under the Same Moon"

Friday August 15th, 7pm

UNDER THE SAME MOON (LA MISMA LUNA) tells the parallel stories of nine-year-old Carlitos and his mother, Rosario. In the hopes of providing a better life for her son, Rosario works illegally in the U.S. while her mother cares for Carlitos back in Mexico. Unexpected circumstances drive both Rosario and Carlitos to embark on their own journeys in a desperate attempt to reunite. Along the way, mother and son face challenges and obstacles but never lose hope that they will one day be together again.

Dear CNRG'ers,

I'm wrapping up a scan of innovation in the nonprofit sector and need to gather just a little more information on how programs are created in nonprofit/public organizations.

As I've drilled down into how innovation happens in nonprofits, I've centered the work on program design. But here's the big question:

How do program leaders learn to design the programs they create?

Did you learn on the road? In a class? By watching others? Mentoring? Self-taught? Making it up as you go along?

I'm interested to hear stories and anecdotes of how you came to do the work you do, and even what you wish you'd known in hindsight.

Hello to all,

We are considering running an advanced grant writing course (taught  by Michael Wells) and wanted to get your feedback. Please complete the very short survey at http://survey.oit.pdx.edu/ss/wsb.dll/s/2bfgd05.

Many thanks, Sharon

The ReBuilding Center has received an amazing one-day only opportunity to receive a fabulous donation of racking!

We have one day only -- from 9 am to 6 pm this Monday, August 25, to collect the materials!

If you can help, please call Tom at 503-260-5805 to let him know you're coming. Or just show up at The ReBuilding Center's front desk on Monday.(Ask the cashier for more info.)

There might even be a slice of pizza involved. :-)
