Dear Colleagues, Wednesday evening's gathering of the Boston 501 Tech Club was a delightful anticipation of this fall's N-TEN regional conference. We met for an evening of conversation, food, and drink at the Charles Hotel's pavillion, which will also be the venue of the October conference. I love seeing a combination of new and familiar faces at 501 Tech Club gatherings, since it gives me an opportunity to indulge in my compulsion to introduce everyone on the planet to everyone else. One familiar face that I was thrilled to see in this setting was that of George McCully, president of the Catalogue For Philanthropy and creator of the Generosity Index. George will be serving as the keynote speaker of the Boston N-TEN regional conference, and had a chance to widen his acquaintance with the local nonprofit technology community at Wednesday's gathering. As I've previously mentioned, I continue to be concerned about the need for the philanthropic community in Massachusetts to support the region's nonprofit technology infrastructure. So it was deeply satisfying, on a symbolic level, to see George McCully (that maven of Massachusetts philanthropy) chatting with David Altshuler (founder and executive director of TechFoundation) while surrounded by the members of the Boston 501 Tech Club. The theme of October's conference will be "Enabling Technology Funding: Issues for Grantmakers and Grantseekers." I look forward to this opportunity to bring these issues to the fore here in Massachusetts. Best regards from Deborah P.S.
