When: Thurs. July 10, 8-9 a.m.

Ever wondered what other nonprofit professionals across the US are up to in their own communities? YNPN Des Moines Executive Board members will share lessons learned at the the annual YNPN National Conference, where they got to hang with other YNPN chapters in the Twin Cities this June.
Expect some big ideas. Expect some new ideas. And, as always, expect coffee and a discussion.

Brew Gooders @ Saints Pub in WDM
When: Thursday, July 17
Where: Saints Pub + Patio, 265 50th St., WDM

Start your weekend off a bit early, head out west (West Des Moines, that is) and join fellow YNPNers for socializing, sun and summery beverages at this month's happy hour. Please note this event is being held at Saint Pub & Patio in West Des Moines, not at the Beaverdale location.
Whether you're a regular face at YNPN events or brand new, this event is a great way to meet like-minded people in a laid-back setting.
