The Montana non-profit Salesforce community came through yet again for an amazing NPSP Day Bozeman last week. The distance folks travel up there to come to a community gathering like this warms my open source heart!

While I'm still dusting off my shoes from some good hiking in the great outdoors of Yellowstone after the NPSP Day, let's dive into some highlights from last week's community discussions, shall we?
