Regional Workshop in Fairmont today
We’re having a grand old time here at the Holiday Inn in Fairmont today — we have several Horizons participants attending from St. James, Mt. Lake, and Elmore.
I learned a lot in Monica’s session this morning on Nonprofits 101, including a little about the history of nonprofit organizations in the US. I had no idea the first American nonprofit was the Humane Society! Only after people started fighting for animal rights did they expand to work for children’s rights.
Other sessions were on Committees that Work, a great program from U of MN Extension, presented by Katie Rasmussen,
a session from the Youth Work Institute, and our very own Sara Radjenovic on Fundrasing.
