Getting a chance to bring together members of our community is always great, which is why my jet-lagged face still holds a late night smile after a fantastic NPSP Day Portland on Friday. Together, we have so much to share, and we're excited to announce the newest city on the NPSP Day tour: San Francisco!

Grab your morning beverage and some sourdough toast and join me for this week's PUB Crawl.

Don't forget, you can have the goodness of the PUB Crawl delivered into your inbox each Monday morning by subscribing today!
