Michelle Bain, author/creator of Thumbs Up Johnnie, shares the strategies she’s created with nonprofits that reach kids on even the toughest topics. Thumbs Up Johnnie’s team has tackled issues for the March of Dimes, Siteman Cancer Center and Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. While some circumstances are never easy to talk about, Michelle will present some engaging tools that have worked wonders.

| Thanks for "Sharing the Love" at the CSPRC February Luncheon!
| CSPRC thanks Frank Finnegan from the St. Louis Area Foodbank and Julie Reed from Epworth Children and Family Services who presented at our February luncheon. Love was in the air on February 14 when both speakers talked about how to show appreciation for your donors, volunteers and staff. Attendees walked away with some great tips to take back to their organizations. At each luncheon, CSPRC holds a drawing for a free luncheon. Please join us congratulating our February winner, Stacey Koeller. She is the Regional Director of Advancement for Great Circle and was a guest at February’s luncheon.
