There’s nothing like another rainy night in Seattle to huddle up in an independent bookstore and get real talk about real money doing real things in big and small ways.

It’s Thankful Thursday and today I’m thankful to Tuti Scott for her invitation to hear author Hali Lee talk about her new book, The Big We, How Giving Circles Unlock Generosity, Strengthen Community, and Make Change. Hali is a co-founder of the Donors of Color Network, founder of the Asian Women Giving Circle, and co-creator of Philanthropy Together, a national collective giving support organization.
