From my email from the NonProfit Resource Center headquartered at the Sacramento Public Library. I've attended these workshops over the years, since 2003 when they were partnered with Great Valley Center. I found them valuable information for the nonprofits I have worked with or been a board member. These two are Free, due to sponsor dollars.

Note, the realtors do this music review each year for the Community Housing and Shelter Services nonprofit organization, that provides emergency shelter, i.e., a big service in keeping one from being homeless. This is Produced on the music review by Fred Miller, our myspace friend, VoodooGirl, aka Angi is on the committee, very dedicated to this cause, and this helps a lot of people in our area, including a friend of mine recently.
