The Brag Basket is open! This one is for May 22-24, 2015. Bring your good news to share with everyone.

What can you do in the Brag Basket?

  • introduce yourself
  • share some great news from this week
  • congratulate a friend
  • applaud for each other
  • confess your undying love for rural places

How do you join in?

Below this post is the comment section. Add your good news there.

Reading this in your email? Hit reply.

Don’t like to brag? Just share some good news for yourself or a friend.

Just don’t make it an ad. I delete the ads that people stick in here. If you talk more about the people involved than the things, you’ll be fine.

It’s a conversation with friends. So jump in. And remember to cheer for each other.

    It’s been a big week! We launched this

    and finally sent out the official PO and finished the PCB design for our kickstarter campaign too! Huge sigh of relief and excitement.

    From today’s email:

    “Tonkawa, OK now has a “community kitchen ” . The kitchen is for lease by by individuals and small buisnesses needing a place to produce there ” secret recipies ” and other goodies to sell locally and online. Check
    this out thru the Tonkawa, Oklahoma Chamber of Commmerce. Come make your jams, jellies, hot sauce, and any other concoction you can think of. Jerry Johnson”

    Good job, Tonakawa, Oklahoma! Commercial kitchens are a great tool for boosting local entrepreneurship.

      Wow! That’s a really cool idea. I wonder if a “community kitchen” would be good for food trucks too? Health department blessed and all that jazz?

      Have a fantastic holiday weekend!

        Tracy, I think you’re right that this would work for food trucks. A certified kitchen to do prep work and maybe even prepare large orders ought to be a big help.

    I’m loving the early response to my new online course “Fundraising 101”!

    I’m seeing so many new people respond to this course. They’ve been on my list but this seems to have moved them to investing in their fundraising education. And that…is a huge step to their being successful in their fundraising efforts!
