Resource Roundup: January 17, 2008

Today I am introducing a regular feature here at Top School Fundraisers. Since this site is tied so closely to Step By Step Fundraising, I will be using the same title it does, which is “Resource Roundup.” This is a collection of interesting articles from people and organizations in the wider world of education. Most of the links will pertain directly to school fundraising, while others may just be intriguing or noteworthy. In either case, I’m sure you will get a lot out of these great links. Enjoy!
