Networking with Non-Profits

The Westboro Ride Against Hate was a success! People of all ages met up at the Washburn bell tower earlier this evening, decorated their bikes with glow sticks, and else off into the night. We had a few stops on the way, one of which was the Equality (Rainbow) House across the street from the Westboro Baptist Church.

We talked to a member of the organization, Planting Peace, who actually painted the house. This organization raises awareness and funds programs for everything from same-sex marriage to environmentally friendly endeavors. It was interesting to hear the things Planting Peace did, and members of our group were interested in doing more. Sometimes there are connections made between different organizations, and that makes it so easy to hear about events, have a supportive group, and to also publicize each other's events. 

It's safe to say that being a member of a non profit has some perks. You get to hear about a bunch of other awesome organizations that are very inspiring and give you something you want to share with others. You get to be "in the know" of more things happening in the community, by other non profits.
