Dear FirstName, The nonprofit community has a history of sharing ideas, lessons learned and innovations to help each other reach more constituents and raise more funds. In this issue of Convio Connection, we're adding some ideas to the mix. You'll learn lessons from political campaigns that you can apply to your organization. Also, our partners at Event 360 share insight into using online techniques for better offline events. And, we share one of our most popular blog posts on common email mistakes to avoid. We also introduce Convio Go!™ — a program that brings together best practices and our technology to help resource-constrained organizations drive online success. I hope this edition, plus the Connection Café blog, and resources on www.convio.com keep that community spirit of sharing ideas alive with your organization.
 Regards,
Gene Austin
Chief Executive Officer, Convio
