Looking forward to Spokane.

Washington Credit Union League
Next week, I’ll be at the Washington Credit Union League’s annual convention doing a couple of things:

I’ll be co-hosting their Spectrum Marketing Awards Dinner, which should be a lot of fun. I was delighted to be asked, and it’s a great chance to see the best of the marketing coming out of the credit unions in Washington State.

I’ll also be doing a panel on Using Web 2.0 to Build Relationships with Shari Storm of Verity Credit Union and Virginia Brady of UFirst Federal Credit Union’s The Boardcast.

I may also help out with the Trabian guys on their panel Social Media Phenomena Explored.

I’ll blog from the event, and I’ll see you there!

Hit refresh.

I made a few changes to my blog and css. Make sure to hit refresh if you’ve been here before.

  • I finally have comments on the blog post page, as opposed to in a pop-up. Blogger didn’t used to offer this feature, so I’m not sure how long they’ve been doing it. I’m glad to have it working.

  • I added ‘recent comments’ to the sidebar on the main blog page.

  • I’m employing the new Technorati widget for my tag cloud (I love a good widget!).

  • I made the font bigger (so stop bugging me Kate).

  • I got the css for the horizontal rule working well enough.

  • I changed a few other minor things

Enjoy!

Doesn’t anyone want to give away $1,000?

It’s kind of odd. We may have hit the first unsuccessful initiative on ChangeEverything.ca.

About a month ago we launched the ChangeSomething contest, in which we asked the community to blog about an organization worthy of awarding $1,000 to, and why. Since then we’ve had all of two responses.

So I ask my readers: Is there an organizations that could use $1,000 (CDN)? A place you give to, or volunteer at, or send your kids to, or buy chocolates from, or know a friend who works at, or have a family member who’s benefited from?

We’re just giving the money away and all you have to do is write one blog post. You have until September 14th – you’ll feel better if you do.

UPDATE: Even though I am ineligible for this contest, I just submitted an organization that helps those in need build assets. It’s called Future Foundations, and I blogged about them here.
