After two overnight flights in a row, at some point, I'll make it down to South Africa for the first NPSP Day on the African continent. I've been lucky enough to speak in Cape Town a few times, but this time, it's special. Bringing together non-profit organizations from across the Western Cape, we'll have a chance as a community to enhance the benefit of Salesforce for groups that are doing powerful work in the region.

Also, Phil (our penguin) is hoping to meet some real penguin buddies at Boulders Beach.

Before you start your week, catch up on all of last week’s greatness with the PUB Crawl.

You never know, you could end up in next week’s PUB Crawl!

Don't forget, you can have the goodness of the PUB Crawl delivered into your inbox each Monday morning by subscribing today!
