By Shannon Abram, Relationship Manager at The Community Roundtable.
Summer programming in TheCR Network is still going strong even we (sadly) approach the Fall. Hillary will give a more in-depth recap at the end of the month, but it’s been really fun to watch our members take part in some lighter community activities. We’ve been hosting book club meetings and weekly AMAs, talking about summer vacations and even taking part in a snail mail best practices challenge (community tip: everyone loves getting mail!) Do you plan any fun summer activities for you community? We’d love to hear about them!
