End of Summer Soiree: Resource Roundup and Networking

We are pleased to announce the biggest Seattle Tech4Good event of the year! FREE to you, with so much to gain...

On Wednesday September 24th, from 6-9pm, we will be bringing nonprofits and technology engineers and managers that-want-to-do-good together in a fun relaxed environment at the awesome Seattle Impact Hub! (http://www.impacthubseattle.com/)

This will be the forum where technical volunteers and consultants and nonprofits can hear the various ways they can support and work with each other, then network and build new relationships and (hopefully) make some new friends!

There is no other event offered in Seattle like this - don't miss this opportunity!

PLEASE RSVP TODAY (https://www.meetup.com/SeaTech4Good/quick_join/?eventId=200803082&joinFrom=event&response=3) so we can get an accurate head-count.
