I’ve had the pleasure of working with Diane and her team at Hawthorne. I’ve grown to understand and respect the powerful role that community centers play in the health and well-being of our communities. Diane’s story is one of seeing abundance, showing compassion and offering hope. www.hawthornecenter.org

It's hard to imagine how many lives this woman has touched over 50 years Urban blight, poverty, immigration changed the face of Hawthorne Center, but its retiring director's heart for the community is stronger than ever.

Today's Helpful Byte: How To Keep your Website Fresh

I found this article helpful for two reasons.

First, I really love TechSoup as a resource for non-profits. In addition to discounted IT products and services, their blog/newsletter provides useful technology guidance for non-profits.

Second, the article covers some solid "basics" for websites. One doesn't have to spend a lot of time or money for an online presence. But it's helpful to know where and how to spend limited resources.

The 5 points covered are:
1. Your Website Is a Place for Stories
2. Inspire People with Useful Calls to Action
3. Set Measurable Objectives
4. Collect and Create Images
5. Increase Your Capacity and Keep Your Online Presence Alive

And consistent with the article's theme, there is a "call to action" in the end! What action will your organization take today to ensure your website is fresh?
