 <title>Can you get in the game?   -Using video to connect</title>
 <link>http://www.netsquared.org/blog/mazarine/can-you-get-game-using-video-connect</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Engaging the youth!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What does it take? Whether you&amp;#39;re on the board, on staff, or a volunteer, this is on every nonprofit&amp;#39;s mind. And if you&amp;#39;re looking around yourself at all, you&amp;#39;re attempting to plan ahead. Developing support for your nonprofit means communicating. A lot.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What about making people&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;laugh?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/video/video.php?v=529102816568&amp;amp;ref=nf&quot; title=&quot;http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/video/video.php?v=529102816568&amp;amp;ref=nf&quot;&gt;http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/video/video.php?v=529102816568&amp;amp;ref=nf&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.netsquared.org/blog/mazarine/can-you-get-game-using-video-connect&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

We had Heather Cronk with us from &lt;a href=&quot;http://pledgebank.org&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;PledgeBank&lt;/a&gt; to talk about online campaign building (both with PB and the general topic).  It was quite a lively discussion, answering questions and leaving participants with others to think about in their organizations.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.netsquared.org/blog/amysampleward/pledging-change-event-recap&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <title>Net Tuesdays in Portland!</title>
 <link>http://www.netsquared.org/blog/amysampleward/net-tuesdays-portland</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Hi all-&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; As a former nonprofit communications staffer, consultant, and web designer, and currently as a foundation communications and new media staffer, I think we really need to get Net Tuesday up and running in Portland.  Despite the amount of enthusiasm I have &lt;br /&gt;for organizing a local Net Tuesday, I would really like to have some co-organizers to hold hands with as we start it.  I think the nonprofit technology community in Portland is full of rich stories to share, interesting experiences to learn from, and open and willing individuals to teach and learn. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.netsquared.org/blog/amysampleward/net-tuesdays-portland&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
