Zombie Time
These are my friends Dave and Gwen, who very graciously hosted my visit to the Zombie Ball recently.Dave went as a "Latte Liberal," complete with latte. Gwen went as a 'hot' undead Latte Liberal fiance, I think. ; )
Spooky! Still, get out and vote on Nov. 4.

Learn.
Tune in to the latest, as Dewey & Kaye brings you their 2008 study, Nonprofit Leadership Development: A Model for Identifying and Growing Leaders within the Nonprofit Sector.
