Send Kathrin to Atlanta and Take a Virtual Front Seat at Independent Sector
What an interesting turn of events. I am usually fundraising for other people, helping them succeed. But today it’s my turn! I was recently invited to join an exclusive social media team (“BlogSquad”) at this year’s Independence Sector Conference in Atlanta, Georgia. For those of you unfamiliar with Independent Sector, it is: the leadership forum [...]
What kind of writer are you?
Several people asked me that last night. I found it difficult to answer in 100 words or less. What is my identity as an author? Last night made me contemplate that once more.

The Future of the Cranberry
My blogging career began in 2004. It started as a private LiveJournal blog in which I primarily wrote about my personal life – daily ramblings if you will. Over the years the subjects I chose to write about has changed considerably. While I still write about my personal life, i.e. searching for my biological father, [...]
501(c)(3) Procedure Updates
Several weeks ago, I started preparing in the 501(c)(3) documentation for the Black German Cultural Society. Initially, I was overwhelmed to say the least. However, after working through the extremely helpful instructions and publications from the IRS website, I actually feel quite confident that we are moving in the right direction.
