NonProfit 2.0 Rescheduled for June 25

Posted on: February 9th, 2010 by Geoff Livingston 5 Comments

Snowmageddon Night II 7 p.m. - After the Dig

NonProfit 2.0 has been rescheduled for June 25. The following letter and blog post was sent to attendees this afternoon. I want to express my personal regret that we could not make the event happen. It just kept snowing.

Feel free to leave feedback here if you’d like.

Thanks for understanding,

Geoff

Thank you to everyone who registered for NonProfit 2.0. We need to let you know about a series of developments that have occurred in the past 24 hours.

• A second major storm is descending on Washington, DC today and tomorrow with expected snow fall of 10-20 inches
• Even before this second storm, the federal and local governments still deem our local roads to be too dangerous for major commutes, and have remained closed.
• Given the prior two factors, and a conversation with our event facility host SEIU, we decided this morning that we cannot guarantee a top-notch quality event on Friday.

As a result, we have rescheduled NonProfit 2.0 for Friday, June 25. We hope you can still join us then. However, we know that things change and if the new date is an inconvenience for you, please let us know. We do have a wait-list of 100 people and would like to give them an opportunity to attend in your absence.

We are so sorry that weather did not permit. We were thrilled to spend this day with you, and look forward to June 25.

Thank you again for your support,

Allyson Kapin, Geoff Livingston and Shireen Mitchell

Join Me for the @LiveEarth Run for Water

Posted on: February 3rd, 2010 by Geoff Livingston 3 Comments

National Harbor

Many of you know I volunteer as a weekly blog writer and social media advisor for Live Earth. But my commitment will go farther this Spring as I participate in the Live Earth Run for Water on April 18.

No small commitment from me, because though I am a gym rat and partake in cardio five times a week, I hate running. The environment is worth it, so no whining from me.

There are events throughout the country and the world, but the DC 6k will be a signature Run for Water event:

The 6k course, which is still being finalized, will be hosted by the National Harbor. If you haven’t been to the National Harbor yet, it offers stunning views of downtown Washington, D.C. and Old Town Alexandria (my neighborhood), and is just a 15-minute drive – or water taxi ride- to the heart of DC.

In fact, if you are one of my readers and you feel so compelled to run in the DC event, I’ll buy your first drink afterwards. So join me for the Live Earth Run for Water.
