It's time to flip up your tray tables and return your seat to its upright and locked positions. I'm kicking off the NPSP Day 2018 tour on Thursday with our first community unconference in Dallas, and excited for the year ahead!

For those of you who can't join us in Dallas, don't worry, there's plenty of opportunities to engage with the community in 2018. First, our team's very own Tim Forbes is hosting an important webinar on Thursday to help fundraisers prepare for the massive change likely coming our way with the new US tax law changes. Second, this Friday you can give a big virtual hug to fellow community members in the second non-profit HUB Office hours for 2018. Then, you can take a look at the growing list of cities announced for the planned 18 NPSP Days scheduled on 4 continents this year.

To get you prepared for the week, and before I go wheels up into the skies, take a moment to enjoy this week’s PUB Crawl. Grab a warm beverage of your choice and enjoy this week’s roundup of knowledge.

Today, those of us in the US (and many around the world) celebrate the legacy of Dr Martin Luther King Jr with a day of service to our communities. It's incredible to see the contributions made by members of our non-profit community as we leverage our skills to move us towards a more just world.

As you read through this edition of the PUB Crawl, consider your gifts and talents and how they could be contributed to our community in the spirit of service. Each moment we take for each other, the better chance we have to reach the type of world Dr King believed we could create together.

With that spirit in mind, here's the latest contributions from your friends in our Salesforce community!

If you're on the east coast of the US right now, just let me know, and I'll send one of our penguins' friends (a rescue dog) out to find you in an ice-covered snow drift somewhere. With a laptop. So you can read this.

Inside the friendly confines of the Soapbox Engage headquarters, we're thinking of warmer places right now as the NPSP Day calendar fills up. This year, we're adding two new continents to the tour, spreading the spirit of the open source NPSP community down to our friends in the southern hemisphere. Keep your eyes on the NPSP Day website as the calendar is populated, and see if a community event rolls through a city near you!

In the meantime, stay current on what’s happing in the HUB in the comfort of your own chair with this week’s PUB Crawl!

Good morning friends (as I write this at 10pm ET)! For those of you just waking up from a long night/day's sleep, I just wanted to provide a few quick updates. First, 2017 really did happen. All that stuff. Yep, it happened. Second, I'm here to help you get focused on the road ahead.

Somewhere between your stack of thank you's in your outbox and the resolutions in your inbox, is the faint memory of all the awesomeness that we saw in the Salesforce community in 2017. Allow me to give you a quick synopsis: this community rocked it! Multiple community sprints, 14 NPSP Days, 25+ NPSP software releases, more Power of Us Hub posts than I can count, and a ton more.

Considering all that we've accomplished together in 2017, I have a feeling 2018 is going to be record breaking year for this community. Let's catch up on what you missed during the end-of-year craziness with a roundup from last week's knowledge.

For our readers celebrating the holiday today, Merry Christmas! I’ll keep this one short, mostly because I'm working between multiple helpings of food and desserts. It's been an honor to hop into your inboxes this year, and I'm looking forward to hopefully being the first email you receive in 2018!

For those of you who are taking the week off between Christmas and New Year's, here's what you missed...a few weeks ago. Happy New Year amigos!
