I am a very lucky man! In October and November 2019, I was very fortunate to attend many great events. I am publishing seven blog posts today because I really want to thank the organizers of these events. With so much happening, I have not been able to publish my blog posts on a timely basis, but still wanted to recognize and recommend these organizations.
I have already published the following three blog posts about October events:
-
Blog Date: November 10, 2019 - From Waterfalls to Wilderness Workshops
My October 9-15, 2019, Weekend Journey: New York & Massachusetts Parks, and Appalachian Long Distance Hikers Association (ALDHA) Gathering -
Blog Date: November 19, 2019 - Celebrating 10 Years of Cleveland Growing Toward Becoming a Sustainable City!
This was the first year I was able to attend the Annual Sustainable Cleveland Summit which took place on October 16, 2019. -
Blog Date: November 26, 2019 - Third Annual Better World Day - Blockchain for a Better World
I am grateful that Marc Majers knew of my interest in technology solutions for nonprofits, and thus invited me to this year's Better World Day educational event that took place on October 17, 2019, at the Cuyahoga County Public Library Parma Branch.
Here is a list of the seven new blog posts which will include tweets that tell the story of ten great events and the organizations sponsoring them. In the interest of time, these are not my usual full blog posts, so I encourage you to click on the links and watch the videos in the tweets to learn more:
