5fer news and lot's of it!

Hi 5fers:
Things are lighting up around here.

5fer DOINGS

Our ranks are growing. Nine new 5fers joined this week!  And Kearney is our newest awesome intern. Here's what inspired her to volunteer. Props, shout-outs and all manner of kudos to 5fers Laurie, Rosie, Liz, Emma and Juliet. Details on how great they are right here.

5fer TEAMS

RowLA is our newest 5fer Team.  They're in the race to win our next $5000 grant and here's their brand spanking new Team page to prove it.

5fer TALK

What the world needs now, is "diversity around the decision-making tables".

Do you have the makings of a 5fer Team Leader? Read this and find out.  Hint: You do!

For all of you who ever wondered if we are, well, legit.

Have you joined or contributed to 5 for Fairness in memory or honor of someone?

Memories of Mima, shining.

5fer FEEL GOOD IN 5

This week's community challenge is a virtual ice-breaker to get us all back in the collective Grant Making swing of things. Pick a 5fer, any 5fer,  and leave a comment on his or her page saying, "Hi" if you know them and introducing yourself if you don't.  

With thanks to each and every one of our growing band of 5fers!

PS I'm having "Office Hours" this week today and Sunday. Call, Skype, chat or email.  I'll be lonely if you don't! Details here.
