Hi Nonprofit Community! Weekly Roundup - July 24

Hi crew! Happy Friday! We had a lovely chat this morning in Coffee Chat (our Friday hangout - open to all if anyone ever wants to join!) with a bunch of you. These are always a fun time of the week to wind down together - I get to hear what you're all thinking about, talking about, but also just time to connect. One moment we're talking about Chia Pets, the next @Dar Veverka is dropping knowledge about the percentage of households that are single-person (more than you'd think!).... Alright, now let's dive in! 

⭐ What's new

• New Community Sprints announced! The Nonprofit Community team announced for events for the rest of the year! @Cori O'Brien and I are heading to Amsterdam (Oct 19-20) & San Francisco (Nov 9-10) later this year after Dreamforce, we hope to see you at one of our upcoming Sprints (these are kinda like hackathons)! Can't join in person? We have the Virtual Sprint (Aug 11-12) coming up too! 
• New Hands-on Workshop for Premier & Signature Admins: Secure the Org: Find and Fix Vulnerabilities (ADX012). Not Nonprofit-specific, but wanted to flag it in case you missed it — check it out if you're on Premier or Signature. See the update!
