Hey community folks,

I thought as moderator I would step in and provide some
information defining the use of this list.  I do not feel that
anyone has acted inappropriately from either side.  The chat
list is still small, so to make this truly a community resource,
we need to use it and to increase membership on it.

The chat list is set up to be an open forum for people in
non-profits and stakeholders interested in non-profit issues.
As such, it is not a moderated forum, nor is it intended to be.
So, essentially, anything goes.

But, to post you must be a member of the list.  So, the
assumption is that the email is of value to the population.
Therefore, I would concur with folks that introducing yourself
in a marketing type piece is helpful.  Or, make sure you are
marketing appropriately to this list.  If people think you are
sending spam, you are lessoning the potential impact of your
effort.

The SNP Schmoozefest list IS moderated to limit the
communication that is on that to SNP Schmooze events only.

The chat list is still small.  I encourage people to use it and
to share it with friends to get them to sign on.  It is real
easy.  Just email:
seattle-nonprofit-chat-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

FYI - A SEATTLE NON-PROFIT SCHMOOZEFEST UPDATE IS COMING SOON:
new location:  The NEW Cherry Street Coffee House
2121 1st Avenue
(in Belltown between Lenora and Blanchard)

new website:  
http://students.washington.edu/brianmur/npsf/
 Soon to be at: www.npsfest.org

We need a hand or two to move marketing forward. would you like
to lend a hand.

dt

Feel free to communicate with me if you have
thoughts/ideas/interests/opinions. i love em.  dt

Laura,
I really appreciate your appology letter.  I am already impressed with you by
the tone of your letter.  In other words, I don't come across too many people
these days that can speak that clearly and openly.  I look forward to looking
at your site.

Best,

I sent Albert Kaufman a private e-mail apologizing if I had spammed the group.  It was not my intention.  I was under the impression that this is a site for people working in nonprofits in Seattle, and as such, thought that advice from a top headhunter on hiring search firms might be useful.  I apologize if I acted mistakenly.  I did not mean to offend anyone.

Albert advised me that while he doesn't now think it was spam, I should introduce myself to the group and declare my intentions.  I am a partner in a small web based company (www.ExecSearches.com <http://www.ExecSearches.com> ) that focuses specifically on senior and executive level placements in the nonprofit and public sectors.  From time to time I have posted some jobs in Washington State with your listserv and thought that this article (as one of the many we have on our site) would be helpful to you.
 
We hope you'll visit us soon!

Sorry for the multiple postings, but I've now doffed my other hat, and I'm
speaking to you as the Schmoozefest Web Guru.  Unfortunately, not a very
clever guru, and I need help!  Something for all levels of skills and
interest, so have a look below:

>> I've put together a rough NPSFest website, but have quickly maxed out my
webmonkeying skills.  My hope is to create a very interactive site, the
majority of the content of which will actually be created by users logging
on to the site and posting messages, updating calendars, etc.  This level of
interaction requires real programming skills (at the very least, I think,
experience in putting databases onto the web).  If any of you have such
experience - or know of someone who does - please let me know!  This should
be a fun, creative project, and will help in building a robust community.

>> If you've got experience/skills in web design, we could also use help in
simply sprucing up the site I've put together.  Have a look at the "rough
draft" (http://students.washington.edu/brianmur/npsf/ ) and let me know if
you'd like to spend a bit of time jazzing it up a bit!

>> If you're a non-techie, please send suggestions as to what you'd like on
the site - current rendition is
(http://students.washington.edu/brianmur/npsf/ ).  I'm imagining a one-stop
community center for the progressive community in Seattle, complete with
bulletin board, community calendar, database of participants, etc.

Thanks!

Brian

UW MBA Class 2002

Greetings NP Schmoozers!

As Co-Chairs of the UW Net Impact chapter, we're contacting you on behalf of
the fairly large percentage of our classmates in the UW MBA program who are
currently seeking summer work projects or full-time positions.
Unfortunately, due to the difficult economy, students are having a good deal
of difficulty securing positions this year.

Please let us know if there is work in your organization that a UW MBA
student could take on, either on a project or full-time basis.  This is a
great opportunity to tackle any projects you've been considering, but have
lacked the time or people-power to take on.

Any such lead we come across will be directed first to members of Net
Impact - students who have a specific interest in sustainable enterprises -
and then to the UW MBA community at large.  The Net Impact group is
comprised of students from diverse backgrounds and with diverse skill sets
including accounting, marketing, finance, and IT.  If you would prefer to
target students with a particular background, business focus, or interest,
please let us know and we'll do whatever we can to facilitate such a
process.

We should add that we have both already secured positions for this summer,
and so hope to assist in this process as objectively as possible!

Please feel free to contact us with any leads or resources our classmates
might find useful, or any general comments on how Net Impact might work with
your organization over the coming school year.

With best regards,

Melody Kao & Brian Murphy
Co-Chairs, UW Net Impact

Getting Past the 8-Second Resume Read

The average headhunter will spend about eight seconds looking at your
resume before moving on to the other hundreds of pieces of paper on
his or her desk. Pretty scary statistic, huh? If you cannot capture
that headhunter's interest in those eight seconds, you can kiss your
chances to interview for that fairytale job goodbye forever.
Read "Finding the Fairytale Job: How to Tell Your Story" to get the
answer. You can read this article by writing to LGO@E...
with "Resume Article Request" in the subject line, or visiting
http://www.execsearches.com/articles/Finding_the_Fairytale_Job.htm.

To:  Friends and Family of the Fremont UNconventional Centre
(FUNC),

	 After many many weeks of hard work, research, meetings,
proposals
and perusals the time has finally come to declare FUNC officially
under way.
(Insert whoops and hollers here!)  Although the hard work has just
started,
so has the fun!!!!!  (Lots more hollers and whoops!!)

	 We would like for you to join us on Thursday, May 24th from
6:00 PM
to 7:00 PM for a short kick-off meeting at the Fremont UNconventional
Centre
-  180 N. Canal St. (corner of Canal and Phinney)

	 At that time we would like to share with you our venture
toward the
making of the UNconventional Centre. We will provide information about
our
mission, goals, our short and long term vision, and open up a
discussion of
your ideas, suggestions, and questions and discover how you can help!!
Regardless if you are a possible sponsor, vendor, volunteer or client,
et
al., we believe you will recognize there is a piece of the action for
you.


	 For those of you who wish to help us in our cause, we will be
talking about specific needs at the end of the meeting.  Initially,
our
needs fall into three different areas:

			 1) Organizational Development - There is still
work
to be done on filing paperwork, setting up basic operational and
administrative systems, marketing and promotional  materials, etc.

			 2) Space Development - Finish the initial
construction, clean up and setup for the opening event (this is a good
one
too) on 6/13/2001.

			 3) Event Staff - Help with the production and
staffing of specific events.  Currently there are three events
scheduled for
the month of June and we have requests for several more.

	 But wait, don't order that Ginsu knife set just yet. . .
there's
more!

	 AND.... for those of you who are interested in helping with
light
construction/demolition and landscaping, we will be at the site for a
work
day on May 27th from 12:00 noon through 6:00 PM . Please wear the
appropriate clothes and bring along gloves, a hammer, garden tools,
etc.
With no time to spare, working sessions will start that day and be
happening
every weekend through June 10th.

	 We look forward to seeing you on, either or both, Thursday May
the
24th and Sunday May 27th

	 In closing, refreshments and munchies will be provided . . .


	 Please RSVP to give us a heads-up to expect you for the
kick-off
meeting and/or if you will be participating in the working session, or
both.


	 If you have any questions or comments please feel free to call
either of the numbers below or drop us an email!!!!! Also,

	 Looking forward to seeing each and every one of you there!
  AND
ESPECIALLY your ENERGY!!!!!!

The Fremont UNconventional Centre Organization (FUNC) is a unique
non-profit
service provider created to help support the fund-raising initiatives,
activities and events of non-profit organizations in King County. We
do this
by helping them reduce production costs for fund-raising events,
allowing a
higher percentage of each donated dollar they receive to go to the
direct
service of their constituencies.

The Fremont UnConventional Centre's mission is to serve the community
by
providing a new and unique, multifunctional and affordable event and
meeting
space that promotes free exchange of ideas and thought.

The first ever "Carnival Latino" is now being
organized for July 7, 2001 in Kitsap County, just a
ferry ride from Seattle. The organizers are looking
for food vendors to bring Hispanic/Latino foods and
fun activities to this event...to be located in
downtown Bremerton. This county wide event needs you!
Co-sponsorships are welcome and proceeds are
designated to go to children's educational needs (a
specific group has been selected). If you are
interested, please e-mail Willy and Vickie at
losandes@... for more info. Although I am
not one of the organizers, I believe that this event
will be a great benefit to the community, great
visibility for non-profits, and lots of fun! Thanks.

hey seattle non-profit chatters,

This list has been quiet lately.  We are pretty small, so we
might not have critical mass, yet to make such a list a true
community contribution.  My hope is that it can serve whatever
function we deem needed to support our non-profit efforts and
interests.

I would like to encourage you to spread the word.  email posts
can be made by sending to:
seattle-nonprofit-chat@yahoogroups.com
to join, send an email to:
seattle-nonprofit-chat-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

What is the this you ask?
This listserv is envisioned to promote community events, enable
us to ask questions about one another, post job opportunities,
and generally network.  It is an offshoot of the Seattle
Non-Profit Schmoozefest.

Got an idea? Your input is appreciated, as this is a volunteer
effort. Speak up and be heard!!!

fyi - the next non-profit schmoozefest is the fourth monday of
every month.
may 28th at Speakeasy Cafe in Belltown.

Sincerely
drew tulchin
