82North on a roll!

Lest you think I have been shirking my duties, things are popping along at 82North! Welcome to many new clients over the past few months (no, not going to name them and mistakenly forget one!), and well as welcome to the new Auto Team Create users. The newest one to come online is the Mental Health Association in De (www.eracingtheblues.com).

Another new tweak in the offerings is a "Bill Me" payment method.

Here is what concerns me in the months ahead: the stock market has taken a nose dive as has the housing market and the general economy. So why does 82North care? Very simple - what is going to happen at the end of the year? Nonprofits receive their annual fund gifts around the end of the year, and with the stocks being so low, I am guessing many nonprofits will be taking a huge decrease in revenue. And that is sad. I am concerned for people's jobs, those whom they serve, and the ripple effect around our communities.

If you know of a nonprofit in a tighter than usual financial squeeze, mention 82North to them. What better way to help than create a mechanism for gift receipt without any human intervention! And event registration, membership - you know the drill. Taking care of those pieces of paper which come through the mail take valuable manual resources. Let the internet save your organization time and money - especially now that you need it the most!

Stop by 82North - oh, that's right, that's how you got here! - and poke around. Blessings to you all!
