It might be some of the worst air quality I've ever seen in the San Francisco Bay Area (and I lived through the smoggy 80's here), but that didn't stop me from spending a little time away from the computer and with family to celebrate a birthday. Just some good quality time staying inside, running air purifiers, and making siblings listen to me talk about NPSP Days and burritos. Ah, family time.

If you're in the Bay Area, be safe, keep that filtering mask on, and join the rest of us for a refreshing round of knowledge from the Salesforce non-profit community!
