Judging by the number of "Out of Office" automatic replies I'm getting today, there are lots of folks already on their way to visit relatives, friends, and other loved ones for the Thanksgiving holiday.

This year NTEN has decided that the month of November is the perfect opportunity to express our thankfulness for our members. So, we've established the first NTEN Member Appreciation Month, and we've been giving a gift away to an NTEN member every workday this month.

Today we're happy to be able to thank:

Grace Barry, long-time member and Long Island Tech Club leader!

We're sending Grace Forces for Good: The Six Practices of High-Impact Nonprofits, by Leslie Crutchfield and Heather McLeod Grant, compliments of Jossey-Bass/Wiley Publishers.

All NTEN members can get this book for 20% off with the NTEN member discount.
