Hi all!

First, I hope you all had a wonderful Labor Day weekend. Now that Labor Day is over, it's time to start the 2018-19 year of events! The first will be an event on workplace rights with a new partner, Blind. Check it out and register below.

Let's thank Katharine for being a great co-organizer! Her hard work, great ideas, and contributions have made SFTech4Good an even better community. We'll miss you!

Thanks for being a part of the SFTech4Good Meetup! If you know someone who isn't on our email list but should be, please forward this to them!

I'm sending out a part two because our friends at Oracle NetSuite in San Mateo are having two events that you MUST know about. Also, this gives me a chance to plug BoxWorks 2018 again for our friends at Box.org and the tech organizers Meetup that I'm hosting on August 30th.

So much happening smack dab in the middle of summer that it’s worth a newsletter! So many events, so little time... 

Taking it to the people! Wednesday August 8
