Grant Writing Webinars with Casey Boyle-Eldridge January 10-12

Using this Blog format, I am not able to forward you the exact information I receive via email.  However, I can tell you that Casey Boyle-Eldridge, M.Ed, who wrote the YIT strategic plan for the Northeast Kingdom, is offering several grant writing webinars next week, from January 10-12.  If interested, you can contact her at 802-754-2611.  You might want to check out her website ( http://cbeeducationalservices.org/ ) but the webinars are not listed there. 

Here are the resources I can figure out how to send you at this time:

Welcome to a New Approach for the New Year

You can give thanks to Jesse and Courtney for new ideas about how to share information with you without locking up your computers!  Jesse said Google and Courtney said Blog, so here is the new approach we are testing.  Please let us know what you think about it!

I have gotten behind in sending out information about training events, research, and other resources so will soon upload whatever is still relevant for your review.  I hope to then keep you more up-to-date.
