We are coordinating a regular gathering of nonprofit NGO leaders to talk about issues over drinks or lunch. This is not a meeting but a time to share ideas & know-how as well as talk about problems we commonly face. Each month we have a different topic and for April we would like everyone to share ideas about how to do PR and outreach most effectively.

There will only be a hand full of people each month so there is no pressure to perform on any one's part. I would like to run some project or workshop ideas by you and I would love for you to do the same. Please share info about what your group is doing this year ... and yes of course ... bring brochures or fliers!
