One girl’s chore is another girl’s pleasure… it’s really just a matter of perspective. I’ve been doing a lot of walking lately. We recently moved to a tiny cottage less than three blocks from the FundRaiser office. It actually takes me less time to walk to work now than it does to drive. Being primarily a country girl, I’v
e never before had this luxury of being able to walk to where I need to be. There’s amazing freedom in knowing I don’t have to fret about a three cent gasoline price hike.
Economics aside, there’s another joy in walking that I never imagined. I see things in a different way. This morning I noticed the tiny oak leaves spreading in the sun over the alley, each one a perfect miniature of its grown-up self, untouched by bug or storm. This afternoon I walked through nodding pallid globes, all that is left of this morning’s bold yellow dandelions, and watched as they released their feathery children into the world. I heard the musical drone of honeybees as they ambled among the fragrant blooming lilac branches. Had I been in my car, I would have missed all of this.
Just as it took a change in my routine for me to realize I was missing so much, it is very easy to “get in a rut” in how you do things in your FundRaiser database.
We all know that both organizations and software change, but it’s hard to break that routine and use something new, or look at an old process in a new way. One way to begin to see all that is possible is to take advantage of the training courses FundRaiser offers on the Customer Portal. Both online videos and live online classes are available. These classes can show you new features you didn’t know about or help you use established features better.
To use this powerful resource, all you have to do is log into the FundRaiser Customer Portal . Click on the TRAINING VIDEOS tab that appears on the home page. The videos are available to be watched anytime wherever there is internet access, or sign up for live online classes with our wonderful trainer, Larry.
Of course if you would like some help with this, feel free to give us a call in Tech Support at 800-543-4131
