SERVICE WING Presentation - Hamilton City Sai Centre - New Zealandgulabbilimoria
This document discusses service activities conducted by the Hamilton City Sai Centre in New Zealand. It describes various selfless service initiatives undertaken by members, such as singing to patients in the hospital, vegetable cutting for soup kitchens, serving meals at homeless shelters, organizing youth visits and games, tutoring students, and lake cleanups.

The document discusses the divide between traditional payment providers like banks and newer players like Google and PayPal in the mobile payments world. It identifies key drivers of change like faster payments, regulations, technology advances, and evolving customer expectations. The mobile payments opportunity is large with billions of phones globally and transaction values projected to grow substantially. Mobile is changing how payments are delivered from P2P transfers to mobile wallets to offers and loyalty programs. Successful mobile payment solutions require collaboration across different players and provide both flexibility and security in processing transactions.
Bridging the divide between legacy and mobile paymentsDistraslides
The document discusses how the payments world is being disrupted by new technologies and non-traditional players. It is dividing the "old payments world" of traditional banks and processors from the "new payments world" of mobile, social media, and real-time payments. Legacy payment systems are struggling to keep up with these advances. Distra helps bridge this divide by enabling legacy systems to connect to new channels through its Universal Payments Platform, allowing for innovation while maintaining security, reliability and performance without replacing existing infrastructure.

This is our first FOCUS Celebration for 2009. The last time we had one was last December 2008. In this Celebration we focused on the seven important changes that we've implemented in RLCC just recently, which we believe are crucial for us to reach our goals by 2012. Thank you for joining us in this journey of communityship
How to Find & Tell Stories that Cause Donors to Give AgainBloomerang
The most powerful way to connect people to your mission is by telling a story that causes the listener to feel something. Your organization is already filled with these kinds of stories, but when you share them, do your listeners take action? Do they make another gift? Volunteer again? Or bring others into your organization as new guests and donors?
Learn from Master Storyteller, Lori L. Jacobwith, whose stories and coaching has already helped nonprofit organizations raise more than $200 million from individual donors. Lori will share tools and strategies to help you engage your team (yes you have a team!) to identify and share powerful stories so you retain more donors AND raise more money.
Lori L. Jacobwith has a passion for the positive. Her strategies & tools have helped organizations to collectively raise more than $200 million from individual donors over the past decade. She has coached and trained thousands across North America to raise more money and powerfully share their stories.
Lori is the founder of the Ignited Online Fundraising Community, the author of Nine Steps to a Successful Fundraising Campaign and the “must-read” fundraising coaching blog: Withism’s From Lori: Boldness, Clarity and Wisdom for Fundraising Professionals.
The L'hibanot initiative at Anshe Emeth synagogue aims to celebrate the congregation's 155-year history, enjoy its vibrant present, and secure its strong future. The goals of the initiative are to eliminate the temple's mortgage, foster personal and spiritual growth for members, preserve the sacred space, cultivate visionary leadership, ensure fiscal well-being, and create a culture of loving-kindness. The fundraising goal is $5 million by the end of 2014 to retire the mortgage, expand programming, attract and retain top clergy and staff, and invest in the next generation. The initiative documents how the temple has been an important part of members' lives through celebrations, education, and community and aims to continue
The document discusses Jeremiah 29 and God's message to the Israelites exiled in Babylon. God instructs them to settle down, marry, have children, seek the welfare of the city, and pray for the city. This shows that God wants his people to be fruitful during exile and work for the good of their communities, with the promise that God will bring them back to their homeland after 70 years. The conclusion is that exile can drive people to dependence on God, and that future restoration is coming through establishing God's kingdom even in foreign lands.
This document discusses essential vs. non-essential beliefs and practices for a church community. It explains that unity is most important in essentials like core mission and vision, while flexibility is acceptable in non-essentials like specific methods and styles. The document encourages defining a "centered set" approach where people are respected as seekers of truth rather than seen as needing to be converted to the group's bounded set of beliefs. Keeping non-essentials loosely defined will make the community's essential values more accessible.
This document discusses the importance of having a positive attitude. It argues that attitude is the most significant factor in a person's life and success, more so than other factors like natural resources, age, or race. It compares countries and their levels of development to show that attitude plays a key role in whether a country becomes rich or poor over time. Developed countries tend to have populations with principles like ethics, integrity, and a strong work ethic. The document encourages changing one's attitude, stating that doing so can change one's life and help countries like Pakistan to become more developed. A positive attitude is described as essential.
