Over the years I have listened to the pros and cons on the use of alcohol in nonprofit fundraising. I decided to research the topic and share different views and steps to take when you mix the two in a story I wrote. Hopefully, this perspective is helpful to you. See link below.

We have concluded the Three Weeks of mourning, which culminated yesterday with the observance of Tisha B'Av. This period commemorates the destruction of the Batei Mikdash, the holy Temples in Jerusalem. As a resilient and optimistic community, let us now anticipate more positive times. With this perspective, we encourage you to enjoy a restful, relaxing, and optimistic Shabbos ahead. Shabbat Shalom! Norm.

Iran. Daylight Savings Time. Canadian wildfires. Sahara dust storms. Mid-term elections. And the list goes on and is endless. It's time to put these items on the weekday shelf and turn Sabbath mode on. Time to bask in the warmth and tranquility of Shabbos. Shabbat Shalom! Norm

People often discuss fundraising in transactional terms: They raise dollars, plan campaigns, balance budgets and meet annual goals. But effective fundraising is not primarily about money. It is about meaning—helping people see a future worth investing in and helping organizations stay grounded in purpose when challenges arise. Successful fundraising is closely connected to reframing: lifting our eyes from immediate struggle and focusing on possibility, purpose and long-term impact.

Dear Colleagues and Friends, This year the Holiday of Shavuos coincides with Shabbos, a somewhat rare occurrence. Shavuos celebrates the giving of the Torah, the harvest season and lots of dairy dishes and cheese cake, among other things. Best wishes for a beautiful Holiday and Shabbos. Chag Sameach and Shabbat Shalom! Norm
