 Okay, we're recording. Okay, I think let's start it off since we've only got 15 minutes. And I will start it off in our traditional nonprofit Commons way. Well, first off, hello, everybody, and I will say this in chat too. And this gives us a minute or two while folks kind of pop in. But hello, everyone. We usually start. We have our nor our usual nonprofit Commons meetings on these Fridays. So we're a little later, but you know, great to have everybody here in a special kind of VWB PE edition of it. So usually at our meetings, we start off with introductions. So if you want to type into chat what you are comfortable sharing. So even if it's, you know, if you don't, that's fine. But what project orgs you might be part of and, and if you're new to NPC, or even want to share like your VWB PE highlight so far, you can do that in chat too. But it'd be great to for folks to introduce each other and we'll give it that like a minute. Great. I'm going to pop in a chat here and continue kind of on but you guys can continue to keep introducing yourself as we go. I also encourage you to, you know, put in chat and hopefully this will be discussion oriented anyway so put in chat. And then even like when we get to the compass points when we talk for each discussion, you can speak as well. But I also want to let you know that there are notes with a Google Doc notes you can kind of open that or book sort of save that for later. And there'll be information in there as well kind of about what we're going and it's a bit of our script as well so you'll you'll sort of see some of that. So I want to sort of start off by a little bit just I mean many of you know about nonprofit comments, but I want to sort of start off with. Well, first a bit about me, and I did sort of say some in chat, but we'll have just a very short we call it like our little Twitter size bio. And that I just put mine in, but I'm a designer and a technologist and, and then an organizer focused on the convergence of creativity and community social good in the future. I'm a founder of the Metaverse focused nonprofit avocon.org and Vesuvius group.com, which is a virtual worlds XR dev studio. I'm also a singularity university alumni, if any of you know that in the Silicon Valley area, and I put a URL in there that you can kind of find various other things about me. So enough about me. The nonprofit comm commons and comprises of organizations from around the world. And many of the folks here are part of the actually all the speakers here today are part of the board. And then so we have a kind of community led organization and it's fiscally sponsored by avocon but like community led otherwise. And I'm putting some more information about NPC and chat. And we, we, as I said, we meet, we meet weekly, we provide tech and education and exploration of social good and artistic spaces and virtual worlds. And I'm going to put some info about our weekly meetings, but they're on Fridays, usually at 830 am. And we also like VWP we love presenters. So, if you're presenting a VWP and you'd like to present again or if you have other topics or you have a event coming up that you would love our community kind of come to or a tour of your projects in world. Please fill out that form and we'll add you to our schedule. So, and then more ways to connect with us. We have a website or Facebook group. There's also a pay, there's a Facebook page and a group so you can actually kind of converse together if you join the group is to there's a link from now on the Facebook page. We have a Google calendar where that gets updated and a discord channel, set of channels that are within the avocon server. So, and today our focus is obviously on a conversation. So, we're kind of here for all of you. And that includes, you know, our NPC members and then all the educators and social good focus folks who might be interested in this. And like many other community groups, and this is just kind of to set the tone for our particular for Compass, Compass points discussion. Like many community groups in second life, nonprofit commons or NPC as we often refer to it. So, our resurgence of people interested and interested in projects during the pandemic. I'm, I'm sure many of you probably have as well. And to today, many of our community leaders, we're going to lead this discussion about the success stories, mentoring social good tips. And, and sort of kind of the changes in thriving and trying to thrive during that period of time as a as a community and this of course, we hope to hear from all of you of what it's been like for you as well. And so we invite you to share your thoughts during and and that'll be prompted by each discussion. So, as we go through each compass point. So I will do a quick intro of each panelist as we go and then turn it over to them to lead their part and then ask the last questions of all of you. So, for our compass points for today and the first one that we'll start off with is the East Compass point. And I will put that info in here and Ellie pinion is leading that conversation for that. Ellie pinion is a professor and instructional technologist a higher Ed admin. She is Dr Becky Adams and as in her. In the real world or for lack of another word recently she retired from University of New Mexico as the director of online course development and faculty support. She's a, as I said, an NPC board member. She also lead is one of the leaders of the virtual worlds education consortium. And on the VWB PE board. So, I will throw it off with hers with kind of focused on what positive changes and accomplishments to strengthen ourselves and community took place in 2021. Our East Compass point. So to you, Ellie. Thank you, Ryan. Make sure I'm able to people are able to hear me with a Y in the text chat. Great. Thank you. Thank you. So with this question I'd like to share non-profit Commons accomplishments. While you think about yours. In 2021, NPC has had many amazing tours of communities that are thriving in virtual worlds. We've had speakers that help us think about how we can move forward during challenging times and it's certainly been that hasn't it and support many amazing nonprofits across the Metaverse, as well as helping our members to learn the cinema to promote their offices and groups. And we implemented a take care of yourself minute at each meeting. We have updated our SIM, creating a more visually pleasing, more current look, but also have even more places to get together for conversations, common ground monthly events, as well as other activities. We partner with new groups, including support for the new VWC eduverse project. And for more information about that, we will have a session tomorrow afternoon. We all keep saying it has been a challenging time. So please share with us what positive changes you've made, what accomplishments have you had that have helped strengthen you and your community this past year. We're interested in how you managed this. And you can put those in chat text chat or voice, but we're hoping, like I said, this is like our usual nonprofit comments kind of thing that we encourage contributions. So let's discuss. So how have you rallied. Okay, Sharkin says more people seem to have begun actively listening. That's an interesting comment Sharkin in the physical world and in internet worlds. She says, what are you doing? Positive changes. She loves active listening. Ray says being more active here in Second Life has helped me connect new friends. We've experienced that too Ray. It actually was one of my survival techniques personally, as we were kind of hiding and hibernating and protecting ourselves. There says I'm most likely doing and thinking about other tasks as well. As she's, if she isn't typing in text or talking several agree with her honesty. This is I'm putting much more energy into the long term dreams that involve virtual worlds. Interesting Ava. Have you all been doing that? That's a great point. Which dreams? Do you mind sharing? Ah, Beth retired last fall. Major self care. Loving retirement. There says for me it's the integration of technologies with what people need to feel creative energized and on fire. I love the word integration. There's been a lot of talk about that. And that is my field as well. Lear as you know, using technology to promote things like creativity. Bureau. What are your positive changes and accomplishments to be strong through last year? There says we're pre coffee. Yeah, I agree. But she is so active in our virtual harmony research group. I wonder how much research more research was done last year. And that to me is very proud promising and extremely an extreme accomplishment for sure. She says keeping students energized and focused on learning and self care. It's been a challenging year for teachers, hasn't it? I'm going to share in another session about how my students were so much different. After two years of this. My local W O W women of wisdom group introduced them to second life. Good job, Mary. Thank you. Oh my gosh, that's very exciting. Dancer says seeing more assistance from telehealth care. Also encouraging. There's a lot of things that have been going on this year. That are very positive. Sharon says with my statistics lab, I always tried to give my students 10 minutes at the start of class for self care and they were super thankful. Oh, that's such a great approach. As often Google met classes are back to back. Yeah. Interesting. There's actually personally, I took up a challenge from Kevin in a different 3D virtual world environment to come back and see how SL is changing. I did so grudgingly and I'm surprised to find I will stay in SL because I came in contact with a BWC at your first teams. Wow, that's great, sure. Seppelin says she has no time for those who have no time for self care. That means her students. Yes. Cynthia says I'm delighted how my students work together in second life. Real life skills in action. Oh, Seppelin says this is the first time teaching this term while you're doing a great job. It sounds like. Arellia, I've probably butchered your name. Says I always fondly looked at SL as a way to enable us to do desk. Jet setting. I need that coffee to learn about other cultures through interaction and their bills. Excellent. Shar says I will still be in other 3D worlds. But she's come here. That's so exciting. Oh, good. Thank you. Rihanna says at MPC we have started to incorporate in our weekly meetings of 2 minutes self care tip at each meeting to give folks a bit of time for self care. And that is highly appreciated. I'm going to add. Seppelin, whereas if there are classes, people often walk between them. Oh, and have a brief pause. Isn't that the case? Marley says I would like to urge encourage everyone to think of learning as lifelong and able to happen anywhere and everywhere for sure. Marley. Val says as we're kind of needing to move to our next compass point. Val says, do you think the buzz around the word meta versus impact in virtual worlds and your work here? Something definitely to think about. Zeppelin. Larry saying to Zeppelin, creating the feeling of relaxation and joy and classwork is work when there is no breaking between term segments agreeing with her. If it says helping bridging the fill in, fill in. Throbby flight to be 10 dreams into immersive interactive displays can see a bit of the idea and the VWB PE exhibit. Number 88 inside of the root links from may we all become mother trees nourishing. I love it. Thank you all. This is very, very helpful and right. Do you want to show back to you? Yep. Thanks for all that. And I do want to also mention there is a little orb next to between near me and and Lear and there's sort of some more information on there and I'll remind you that about that later. So on to our West compass point, which is today, Lear Lear Lobo is leading that up. She is a professor at Parker University and XR faculty champion. Futurist VR AR AI and games researcher at virtual harmony on the Mars expedition. She's an author. She's in the NPC education co-chair TCC Hawaii board member. Oh, a CC coach organizer. And there's a link and I will paste that and paste all of this into chat as well. And with that, Lear, you can take it away for the West compass point. Hey, thanks. I was waiting for you. Hi, everyone. In this quadrillion, we want you to feel comfortable talking and, you know, so don't feel voiceless by any means. In the West compass point, we always have a question to consider and mine was what guiding question or topic prompt. You know, is worrisome or challenging and, and in particular, it is what were the challenges you and your nonprofit or educational community faced in 2021. And, you know, our challenges related to what Zeppelin and others have mentioned, you know, we have fast turnaround times. We have shorter or no breaks between terms, you know, to keep students focused. But the problem is, when do we take a breath and, you know, synthesize and rest, right? So students and educators face many pressures and so do nonprofits and self care is important to our well being. You know, it's hard to learn when you feel overwhelmed and it's hard to teach and keep everyone energized and on fire. For me personally, you know, my workload accelerated. I was teaching for three to four different schools and more than a half time loaded at three of them. So it was like, how many half times or full times can you do? And, you know, working from home, you know, it's supposed to be easier, but it's really, you don't know when you're, you're shutting down and when you're turning it off, right? And so many students needed support and schools needed experienced educators to care and everyone needed something, right? And of course, there's a high state of fear right now. It's not just the pandemic. It's not just the war. It's not just all these other things. It's also our lifestyle and how we live and how we feel our culture, right? And so for educators, we grew closer. For me, I noticed I was growing stronger and feeling very comfortable with my community and very close knit, you know, and looking at a lot of different tools. And not that technology is a panacea, but that it gives us something to focus on our creativity. It helps to inflame the imagination. And for people like me, you know, I'm not very creative like Zinnia is where she can just sit down and create art or Rhiannon or others. I have to have some tools to help me make that good looking stuff, you know, look good. I can't just do it. I can't even draw a straight line with a ruler. Let's face it, right? And so extended reality. And that's an umbrella term as you noticed in the keynote. That's everything from virtual worlds where we are right now to virtual reality where we'd be totally immersed, you know, using an appliance of some sort to put us in that first person perspective. But it's also augmented reality, which is everything from, you know, using your smartphone or another device to look through it and augment the experience with virtual content within the real world, right? You know, giving you additional information that augments your experience to mixed reality where all of a sudden you see this augmented or virtual content and yourself, you know, or the scene around you, you know, that kind of combination. And that gives you some insights about the technologies you're talking about in class, how things work, and it kind of feeds our inquisitiveness and excitement. I know I don't really read what everyone else is saying, but I will pause here for a moment and scroll up and take a look. So, you know, Beth notes that Second Life's been a lifeline for many of us. And Zeppelin noted that, you know, I heard from others who teach or involved in campuses about the lack of communication of expectations or deadlines in online classes. As often informal conversations take place in class. And of course that includes things like withdrawal, deadlines, sign up. Yeah, students don't feel necessarily that same sense of pressure. And yet we have rules and policies that say financial aid gets cross, you know, if you let people cruise, you know, they have to be focused and do things in a timely fashion or, you know, the machine starts to complain. And I think a lot of us who are coaches or work with nonprofits versus edu institutions have created some amazing ways to engage adults in life learning groups and activities. And that is so true. Scrolling up for a moment, because I know Zeppelin had also said that some of her, excuse me Zeppelin, I don't know male female and not looking around. So my apologies. But some of my own students were in other countries and classes or labs and would be late at night. Yeah, it would be any learning ubiquitously anytime anywhere any place. Absolutely. And stranger I'd noted the horror story. Yeah, you know, if we never have a time where we can switch off, relax, take a breath, get back to green spaces and, you know, to the sense of community that isn't always technology enhanced. You know, how do we blend these kinds of experiences. Now, I noticed definitely these students losing family members, you know, that exacerbates our fears, right. We're losing people we love. We had one student who lost both parents and a grandmother in just a few weeks at the end of a semester. And it's hard to learn when you're dealing with great loss. And of course it's depressing, but it's it's debilitating to the spirit. Right. And so this would be especially challenging, especially to those who would not get to have funerals. And that's true. The ability to mourn and to say goodbye and to be with people you love, right, who are comforting you and going through the traditions that are part of your culture in your community. That's important to us. Zeppelin noted that one of my students did not submit assignments during the time we were online. You know, and, and Ellie noted very true, you know, to be in person, you know, to feel that pressure, you know that that the little pressure we have when the team is counting on you, the class is counting on you. The teachers looking over your shoulder, the, you know, hey, where's your stuff, you know, we're counting on you. You know, what I try to do, I try to instill in my classes that the notion that, you know, their work matters, learning matters, and their future matters. And somehow we will get through these really tough times and build a future together. Right. I only have a few more thoughts. Keep talking. These are wonderful conversations. Marley adds, if only students and other learners could, could do their learning in their own timeline. And I know that would be nice. Nice Marley, you know, in one of my schools, our terms are four weeks long, you know, so they have to be so organized, they have to have that book like day one. But the good news is they only take one class at a time, and they don't have divided attention. And so now we're starting to revisit and say, maybe we need longer terms, but then students will have divided attention and take multiple classes. And that's, it's always a question as to which model works best for our students. Right. Now, for the nonprofits that I support, because we are interested in nonprofits, not just education. I noticed that they were facing incredible stress from the fact that part of their culture was to gather, right, to meet and to do things out in the wild. And they have these face to face activities and then also to have a reduction in donations so they didn't have the community support that they had enjoyed. They also didn't have the financial support. And those two pressures, you know, are very great for any social good agency, right. Zeppelin notes, my group was fourth year honors psych students, and we're in a ton of other classes that's that's right. And of course, I was like, I'm asking my students right now I asked them to participate in a in a contest that dancers Yow had had introduced to me from the future of life. And it was on world building AI and it asked the probing question. What would the world be like in 2045. If you thought of the ideal world. Well, how, how would we get there. What would it take to achieve it. And such a wonderful question. I asked my future students to think about it. And of course, they're thinking about it, but they're reluctant to put words on paper, and to actually think about what would it take to get to where we want to be. Now, despite what comes when we focus on connecting learning caring, we feel stronger and vibrant, you know, and Zeppelin notes that indigenous centers, you know, on campuses there've been issues with them. The feeling of being disenfranchised or disconnected from your communities and also from the community at large. And Marley adds students could still have flexible teams for different kinds of learning. I'd like to see the whole way education is done have much more attention paid to the needs of well being of the students. And I agree with you, Marley. That's why I took that tact for this question because if if we do not feel great about what we're doing and on fire. It's very hard for our learners to catch that same energy. Now I know we got to move along. So my apologies for clicking. I see Joyce gesture in here, which means it's time for the next compass point. There we go. Thanks. Thanks, Lear. So, okay now, and then thank you for their West. Now we're going to move on to the North compass point. And that will be with Zinnia today. And Zinnia Zaba is an artist and instructor, a superhero and advocate for awesomeness. Encouraging empowering active inclusive education and community participation in the arts and science. She's co chair of the nonprofit comments board. She is one of the organizers of VWC. She is a professor at peninsula college and there's a link there for more info with that. I'll turn it over to you, Zinnia. Thank you. Thank you all for being with us today and the tomorrow's to come. In the north. We're asking how did your activities or solutions work to strengthen you and your community in 2021. Daisy chain connections and circles. These have been our themes to strengthen our bonds within our community. The daisy is a symbol of new beginnings and hope, our supportive stems demonstrate the importance of how we all win when we work together. The circles is a symbol of wholeness, infinite energy and inclusivity. The nonprofit commons advances forward by focusing on what the community around us wants and needs. Through these challenging times we have not been as isolated as others because we focused on supporting each other. The nonprofit commons community members link together to make significant connections and build aspiring projects to empower each other and our global partners. Our community members each have unique needs, which gives us perspective and pause. They know to speak up and share at our weekly Friday meetings. No one needs to take center stage to be there to be heard. Everyone is equally important and supported. Yet we do shed a bright spotlight when you're presenting. Our meetings are on around to include opportunities to share their experiences, expertise and activities that we all can learn from. We have events that celebrate our successes in second life and beyond the screen. Please visit our exhibit here to help fan the flames of our bonfires. Our weekly meetings are now followed by the nonprofit commons Q&A to give helpful and dedicated members an open forum to troubleshoot and tackle the needs of new people in second life. I've been hosting a virtual worlds education consortium cross community campfire chat following that discussion of positive and inviting aspects of education within a virtual environment. The 4C as we like to call it are like professional learning communities and have been focused on even more outreach online like through social media to encourage people to join us and why. To meet people where they're at and to demonstrate more support to a wider audience. I want to start hosting the chat at our new virtual worlds consortium. Ed, I have trouble saying this Ed verse. And you verse. So, no, Sim. I hope that you can join us there and do attend our presentation on Saturday to learn more. Because our community members are producing so many amazing events. We do our best to support their efforts and invite people. We don't want to take away from their efforts. We want to give them a broader reach. Oh, yeah, Val. Excellent. A great example of collaboration efforts is our monthly colored theme common ground networking party posted by various nonprofit members at our sims and theirs. I'll be sharing more about this nearly 14 year continuous networking event tomorrow at 11 in the morning. And when I say continuous, I mean it does stop every once in a while. Because we're focused on our community, please keep reaching out to us and suggest ways to include you in our supportive Daisy chain, which is like a huge group hug circle. So with solutions and events, do you want to engage with it in PC? I want to open it up to you guys. What do you want? And what do you want to share about the events and solutions we have developed? So let's see. You have folks saying lots of great things. The informal meetings afterwards. Great. Once more of our chair tours. Yes. Yes, asking for people to participate in case studies. That's fantastic. And adding other mediums. Excellent. That's great. Thank you. Yes. Our spring common ground is going to be pink. And as mentioned is a way of supporting and highlighting different organizations. So that's fantastic. And do you guys find that the nonprofit commons as a space that you can invite new folks so that they can see a bunch of people together? Those green dots are people. Excellent. Yeah. I wanted to be sure that you guys know how much we support what your needs are and your wants. And we also like to celebrate what we have. And we do have such an amazing folk, but amazing group of folks here. Great. We'll get those shots of you. Yeah. Oh, great. I had the good fortune of finding nonprofit commons is one of the first communities that I entered. And it has been a supportive organization throughout. You are circled by a foundation of awesomeness. So let's keep building. Excellent, Marley. Well, see, these are the things that you guys share with us that we learn from. And so still some in skills. Well, and Zeppelin, see, that's the kind of stuff we need to know about. Thank you. That's a great question. That's a great question. Yes, are awesome. Yes, so we hope that we are creating events and solutions that really develop community. And we learn from you on how you've developed your communities as well. You're all masters of no cards and heads. Yes, please. Thank you for coming to the north with me. Thanks, Zinnia. That was great. Do you have a wall up there? I feel like there should be the wall. No wall, plenty of sun. That's good to know. So, okay, now we are on to the south. And that will be with our lovely Buffy. And let me kind of get to my notes so I have that here. So there it is. My notes have adjusted over time. The south is going to be led by Buffy. And Buffy Beale is a futurist, a mega hero, social innovator. She started join me join us.org, a global campaign for connecting people and is and be a strong voice for change or be one strong voice for change. She's a mentor and nonprofit commons board member who believes in virtual world, who believes virtual world reality will connect us in the future and ways we can only imagine now. She is also, it's not in her bio. She is a super volunteer. She helps out so many places for so many events. And we all love her for that. And with that, I will turn it over to you, Buffy. Well, thank you very much. That was, that was unexpected intro right. Thanks for adding that. So, I joined in with my other teammates to say thank you for being here and I just love what Z said for today and the tomorrow's to come that is, I'm going to remember that one Z that was good. So I was given the question. Get to get this right here. Make me blush here. So I was given the question of what do you need to make 2022 a great year for your learning and nonprofit community. And I have a little bit of a blurb here for you. The past few years have been tough. That's to say the least with the global pandemic prompting many organizations scrambling. I mean scrambling to set up remote learning and outreach and not to mention zoom fatigue. But this has resulted in some good things too. For instance, here in second life. Many former users have returned and reconnected with our community to strengthen these circles and we've seen that here I've heard of some people saying they came back today. And we certainly noticed greater participation are in our weekly meetings here in second life at the nonprofit comments. We are thriving again. Online learning became a central focus point. And finally, as some would say, resources and funding were allocated to bring education delivery into the future. There's good and bad with that rush, but at least people stood up and took notice. With the Facebook announcement of meta virtual worlds are mainstream news once again. And as patched Lyndon said, during his talk with failing yesterday, second life has had much more attention because of meta and its claim to the universe. And we can, we can debate about that metaverse, whether it always existed, but the good thing is it's now in the news again. So a virtual presence will play a big part in the future. I certainly believe this and others are starting to jump on board. It's no longer a gamer's world to have an avatar. And looking forward to the upcoming year, online communities have strengthened and people are recognizing the value of this online presence. And now, here it comes. Well, it's your turn to share your thoughts and ideas with us. What can you do to keep this momentum going for your organization and we'd like to leave this on a, on a positive happy note so please do share what, what are you going to do to keep this going that now that we're many of us here pioneers but also new people we're in this virtual presence and let's keep it going. Over to you, my fellow cohorts. Okay. Zep, I share this conference with all my academic friends and people I'm on the committees with way to go Zep, and spam my email list and Twitter yeah that's about getting using your social media to get the word out. And Ellie says yes keep hanging out with amazing Second Life folks and groups very positive and Zep again I also forward links to great talks to these people that's good social media. That's really mainstream now and a way to communicate to so many people in such an easy manner. Zep says I think years ago there was the impression that Second Life was for porn, and that stuck with some yes it did but hopefully people like us here in this wonderful conference and these wonderful organizations can can counteract that thinking. Zena says I want people to celebrate our dedication we have for each other and our causes. And yeah Zep and famous documentaries but there's a lot of good things out there now about Second Life and the chat is going so fast I can't read it. But everybody has some really great ideas and Zena says she wants to encourage you all to reach out and take on opportunities to speak to the press yes the more we raise the banners and carry flags and do the rah rah rah for virtual world Second Life and others in general. We can turn around that thinking that it's only for gamers and kids. And Shaq says he's going to promote the VW EC edgiverse with every opportunity that is that's wonderful that's a really great initiative. And Rai says I also try to attend conferences that have popped up so right are those conferences virtual conferences or real yeah yeah virtual conferences right. So for us here today participating as a nonprofit commons and and merging the nonprofit world with the education world that's another positive think positive idea. And Marley says I share a lot of resources so other people can do their work more effectively and creatively creatively. Yes Marley you are the creative wonder. And Rai says everyone should be promoting what they do within virtual worlds blog share on your social apply to present get the word out. Shaq plus one for Corin. I did I miss something that Corin said Mr. C. I couldn't miss you. Actually some of us are gamers in addition to yes that's true. Actually you had for probably a leap up for for navigating an avatar and understanding hugs and all the lingo that goes on here. And that's up again. I love building town replicas and doing photography is a hobby because I have some fine motor difficulties in real life and love bringing scenes to life. Sometimes it overlaps with my academic self and other times just creative where it goes up. And his real life friends are hugely into painting and he can show them his digital scenes and photos. That's well done. I'm really glad you've joined us here and participating in this. And he also loves creating replicas of his characters from his children's story with the content in Second Life and role play is very much a form of creating writing and art. That is so true. And it's I think that's one of the real benefits of Second Life is that you can create a story and be in it. And I'm sure everyone here feels as I do when we're in Second Life we are immersed and we are part of it and we can we can really be part of a story without even thinking about it. We're just part of it. And Rai says OK it's time for me to wrap it up. So I want to again thank you very much for for being here with us today and please do join us at our nonprofit Commons meetings every Friday at 8 30. And thank you very much Rai for leading us and over it out. Thanks. Just a quick like with our last minute here and thank you Buffy. Again as Buffy said we want to extend our thanks to the organizers of BWPE the sponsors are wonderful my wonderful compass points like collaborators around me here. And all of you for sharing your thoughts and future plans so generously as Buffy was also kind of reminding us all again Fridays we meet weekly except for holidays occasional things like that. So Friday 8 30 a.m. join us at nonprofit common leaders putting in like our upcoming schedule which is fantastic. We love presenters come share with us represent your VWPE presentation tour take us on a tour of your work your social org your project whatever. We also offer free virtual office space for those that are doing nonprofit social good work cause based stuff.
