LOCATION CHANGE
The response to the Community Breakfast Briefing has been overwhelming, with more than 700 confirmed attendees to date! As a result, the location (formerly the Center Club) had to be changed.

Event Information
In an effort to provide updated information regarding the current state of the grant review process and any new changes that will be in place starting August 1, 2009, you are invited to a Community Breakfast Briefing hosted by the Weinberg Foundation. While this may be most relevant to the nonprofit community, including grant seekers and grantees of the Foundation, all are welcome to attend. The Foundation will conduct breakout sessions for each Program Area as well as for the Maryland Small Grants Program. You will have the opportunity to have an open dialogue with the Trustees, Program Directors, and Program Officers. The event is open to the public, and there is no cost to attend.

CAN'T MAKE THE BREAKFAST BRIEFING?
Consider Participating on a Conference Call!
The Weinberg Foundation has scheduled conference calls related to each grant allocation area. Each call will take place from 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM (EST). There will be a brief power point presentation at the beginning of each call. Each Program Director/Officer will facilitate the call for their particular program area. There will be an opportunity for questions and answers. Each call has a maximum for 150 participants who can join the call on a first-come, first-serve basis. Each call will be recorded and placed on the Weinberg Foundation’s web site, so if you cannot participate on a call, you can listen to the recording of the call 24 hours after the conference call is completed. If you have any questions prior to the conference call you may contact Julie Hettleman by e-mail: jhettleman@hjweinberg.org
