Staffing Social Startups: Hiring and Firing for Social Enterprise
http://meetu.ps/qZmT4
Getting a new organization started can be tough – how do you find the right people? How do you deal with payroll and benefits? How do you keep the people you want and get rid of the ones you don’t? This event will help social enterprise organizations make those decisions, understand how and where to post jobs and find the right employees or volunteers, and how to avoid common mistakes in hiring.

Hello nwc colleagues,
I’d like to host a wine-tasting at nwc on Wednesday, April 3rd at 6pm. You are most warmly welcome, as are your guests.
I want to do a survey of the major French wine regions (sorry to disappoint you, but I believe the Hello Kitty wine series was discontinued), with about 5 different wines. I envision this as a fun piss-up, but also a sort of instructional session on wine tasting. You may or may not learn:
the culture clash between the Anglo-American method and the French method… stemming of course from a 1000-year rivalry between the French and the English…
what it means if the rim around the wine is watery
when it’s ok to send back a crap bottle you ordered in a restaurant
why a lot of wineries are affiliated with monasteries
Spitting is optional but, erm, deeply discouraged. No one wants to see that shit.
I wouldn’t say I am a real expert at all, but I have a Higher Certificate from the Wine and Spirits Education Trust. Although in all earnestness, that doesn’t mean much at all and it’s not hard to accomplish. I do this strictly as a hobby and make no promises for either your edification or your enjoyment 😉
Also, strangely, I am a very, very bad taster. I’m very interested to hear your comments and input as we taste. You probably know more than you think.
I’m afraid I’d have to charge a bit to cover the costs of stemware and the wine and other materials. Probably $10 or so? If you are sincerely interested, please let me know. If the headcount looks good, we’ll go ahead with this and I’ll send a confirmation email next week or so with my Nigerian Paypal account information. Don’t forget to include your social security number and mother’s maiden name.
Bises,
Euny
