Atlantic, IA – SHIFT ATL, a 501(c)3 nonprofit, will kick-off off their first SHIFT Network event, by hosting an informational happy hour on Thursday, January 23rd, 2020, from 5:30 – 6:30 p.m., at The Venue. The SHIFT Network is a group comprised of local residents coming together to help SHIFT ATL and Atlantic make their vision a reality through planned giving. Jessie Shiels, SHIFT ATL President, says “Planned giving is a crucial piece for any nonprofit’s success. This is a great opportunity for those who are passionate about seeing the Atlantic community thrive, but maybe don’t have the time to give to large scale projects, to get involved in SHIFT ATL.” All ongoing funds received through the SHIFT Network will allow SHIFT ATL to be an active catalyst of growth within the Atlantic community. Shiels says “We hope this will be a great place to join our cause, share ideas and get involved.”

Anyone is welcome to attend the event and appetizers and refreshments will be provided and a cash bar will be available. Attendees can expect to hear from the nonprofit organization more details about what the SHIFT Network is, how it will work and what they can expect from becoming a member. Interested community members will have the opportunity afterwards to commit to their planned giving donations.
