Great Give Palm Beach & Martin Counties is a 24-hour online giving event led by United Way of Palm Beach County, Achieve, Nonprofits First and United Way of Martin County designed to raise as much money as possible for local nonprofits in a single day.
So on May 17, from midnight to midnight, Great Give hopes to strengthen the community by raising critical funds for local nonprofits like ours. Please support The Glades Initiative for the Great Give 2017! In addition to our Glades Community Updates, we are making a difference in the Glades area by assisting thousands of families with access to vital services, including healthy, affordable food and health insurance.

Every local gift made during the 24-hour period will be multiplied by additional dollars from a bonus pool raised by United Way of Palm Beach County.
To make May 17 even more exciting, participating organizations can compete for hourly cash or otherwise valuable prizes. Over the last three years, Great Give has raised more than $8 million for over 500 nonprofits -- the goal is to make an even GREATer impact this year!

Toastmasters Club
The world needs leaders. Leaders head families, coach teams, run businesses and mentor others. These leaders must not only accomplish, they must communicate. By regularly giving speeches, gaining feedback, leading teams and guiding others to achieve their goals in a supportive atmosphere, leaders emerge from the Toastmasters program. Every Toastmasters journey begins with a single speech. During their journey, they learn to tell their stories. They listen and answer. They plan and lead. They give feedback-and accept it. Through our community of learners, they find their path to leadership.

Enneagram for Leaders
The Enneagram is an extraordinarily accurate tool for self-knowledge. It gives you a clear picture of how you presently function and reveals the heights that you are capable of achieving. By uncovering your unconscious motivations and the reasons you get stuck, the Enneagram provides insights into the decisions you make and the relationships you create. Rather than put you in a box the way many personality profiles do, the Enneagram shows you the box you are already in--- and the way out! What emerges is a more functional and authentic version of yourself.
