Upcoming Events

As you know, I am particular about how I spend my time. When I endorse an event or group you can rest assured that I do believe it is worth my time and may very well be worth yours too. Here are two events that I hold in high regard:

Community Bridge Building Network, November 17, 2010 from 9:30 to 11:30 AM, Waterfront (Pittsburgh)  Cost $2.
Our purpose is to assist in the development of community partnerships by sharing information resources and providing an opportunity to network.

This month our meeting is dedicated to Veterans.
