Volunteer Videos Blog
Greetings!
I just wanted all of you who visit this blog to know that another one has been established which will focus on sharing videos describing opportunities to volunteer in your communities. I'm intentionally collecting and producing videos which are short enough to run well on handheld communications (Cell phones, Ipods, etc.) and which don't have much delay when played on systems with limited memory.
Check it out at Voluntter Videos
If you know of videos which should be featured on the blog, let me know.

College of Marin's Finest
Greetings!
The College of Marin Alumni Association has suggested that I could be helpful to them if I would spend some time improving their archives to reflect additional distinguished past members of the college community. It has occurred to me that I might be able to integrate this effort with the project I have undertaken to open the County's Health and Human Services Campus Connections Center. One of the goals of both the COM Archives and the Connections Center is to help connect the community with its valuable resources.
Here is a description of the Center from the County:
"The hub for bringing together community members and community assets is The Connection Center. Unlike a traditional lobby, the Connection Center will be the focal point for health promotion, prevention activities, and contact information for
other county and community services. Clients and visitors can enter the Campus via this one-stop welcoming Connection Center, an inviting space with meeting rooms and a cafe. A reception area will offer information, referrals, billing services,
case management and health insurance enrollment. The Connection Center will have exhibits and displays to highlight various Marin community services and health-related activities."
The Campus design for the facility described above is available on the county's website:
Marin's Health and Wellness Campus
In research I have begun recently, I appears clear that many who attended College of Marin in the past 30 years have contributed considerably to the health and effectiveness of the nonprofit community. I will be contacting those I can locate, to determine if they would be interested in being honored for their work.
Some of those whom I have identified have experience and skills assisting community groups to produce short videos explaining their programs and services. I believe that I may be able to assist both the College and the County if I help build connections to these community resources.

Appetite for Change
Greetings!
Patricia's fundraiser, Appetite for Change, took place yesterday here in Sonoma County. Ten restaurants agreed to donate 25% of their sales to the local poverty organization (Community Action Partnership of Sonoma County) on whose board of directors she sits. We went to breakfast at KC's Downtown Grill on the Windsor town square, she hosted lunch at Annapurna in the Brickyard in Santa Rosa, and we had dinner with a group of my golfing friends and wives at the French Garden in Sebastopol. Lots of people have been indicating their appreciation of her work in setting this event up, and it once again makes me very proud of her dedication to giving back to our community.

Social Causes and Social Networking Resources
Greetings!
Here is a video I produced to explain how I am using Google Blogger, You Tube, and Facebook to help promote Coastwalk, and to help others do the same for causes they work for.

I Give Thanks
Greetings!
Since I'm posting to Facebook and Myspace groups this week on Coastwalk and the Children of Vietnam photographs, I thought I'd also include a video I have on my You Yube account which was produced by Pachamama Alliance at their Mills College World Conference last summer. It really is beautiful.

Comments on the Nonprofit World
Greetings!
Hanging out with a moderate case of poison oak for the last day, I had a chance to catch up on some blogs that I found this week. One is of particular interest.
NonProfit Eye
It's written by a friend of mine who once worked for me in a small nonprofit here in Sonoma County. She's gone on to do wonderous things for nonprofit financial management, and I'm glad that I've discovered her work again after many years. I highly recommend subscribing to her blog to keep abreast of the views of a wise younger one.
Other Resources
There are groups of people in thos part of the world whose work I support. The work they do is varied, and my support results from personal associations I have established with them. Some are connected to me through WiserEarth, others from times long past.
