Soapbox Engage Blog

My hope for you, wherever you are, is that you're not experiencing the endless cold winter that seems to be plaguing us in Washington DC. Even my penguin buddy here in the Soapbox Engage offices has been caught turning up the heat. Ah, it was just week ago that I was spending a warm day with our NPSP community down in Cape Town. If only I could have packed some warm weather in my carry-on.

The good news is that with the holiday weekend that some of us celebrated this weekend now behind us, I can get refocused on the things that really matter: exactly where did I hide those eggs? Also, Salesforce!

Alright, ignore my winter blues, grab a warm beverage, and dig deep into this 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!
