This week on Limited Resources Marshall and Luis do the sunset show for Secrets of Strixhaven, a five-color-pair set done right! SOS spanned a Pro Tour, four Arena Directs, and an Arena Limited Championship Qualifier and lived to tell the tale. The guys also discuss the prize payouts (or lack thereof) for the Arena Limited Championship as well as the apparent discovery of curated packs on the Arena Powered Cube..

The Prism of America's Education with Host Karen Schoen – People are beginning to notice them more and more as they pop up all over America. I have discovered they do more harm than good, and we the people, should be very concerned, as they will affect our way of life. The centers can not run without energy and water, nor can humans. These resources are limited in most communities...
This week on Limited Resources Marshall and Luis do two drafts and a sealed deck build for Secrets of Strixhaven! Crack-a-Packs are useful, but seeing every pick of a draft (or two) really shows how the guys naviagate the format. And with Sealed Deck being in such focus for the numerous Arena Directs these days, the guys also break down a Sealed Deck build for SOS!

Beacon considers five years of capital outlays The Beacon City Council will continue its review on Monday (June 1) of the city's five-year capital plan. Spending for 2027 purchases and projects must be approved before July 31. The city updates its five-year schedule annually; expenditures for the following year are approved, and estimates are calculated for future projects. A public hearing on the 2027 plan will be held on June 15. Next year's plan includes nearly $10 million in capital work and equipment purchases, although not all of it will be the city's responsibility. The most expensive project will be a $3.6 million rehabilitation of Beekman Street funded by grants. The street leading toward the Metro-North station will be repaved; sidewalks will be repaired and installed where there are gaps; and a bike lane will be added on the uphill side of the road. The next-highest expenditure is $1.9 million to construct a water-storage tank at the Mount Beacon Reservoir. The council approved $1.6 million for the project last year; the additional funding for 2027 will complete the work. The city plans to spend $500,000 in each of the next five years to mill and pave streets and install curb ramps to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Similarly, $400,000 is allotted in each of the next three years for improvements to the southwest corner of Memorial Park that tentatively will add pickleball courts, updated lighting and a second public restroom. In 2028, $3.3 million is budgeted for upgrades to the wastewater treatment plant, although Deputy City Administrator Ben Swanson and Finance Director Susan Tucker stressed during the council's May 18 meeting that prices can change. A ladder truck for the Fire Department, authorized as a $1.7 million expenditure in 2025, is now more than $1.9 million, Tucker noted. Two proposed expenditures drew a lot of attention: $5.4 million in 2028 for a 3.3-mile rail trail from the waterfront to the Town of Fishkill and, in 2031, $5.3 million to create a community center. Many residents have advocated for a community center for years, but the idea has never moved from the final year of the rolling five-year plan, a pattern that irked Council Member Lastar Gorton. "Why is that not a priority when this is what the community has been continuously asking for?" Gorton said, calling the rail trail a project for tourists. Mayor Lee Kyriacou disagreed, saying the trail "has nothing to do with tourism" but will be a recreational asset for residents. Gorton argued that "many, many, many, many" community members have called for a community center, including the Beacon Community Collective, a nonprofit that says it is fundraising for such a facility. The organization says its mission is to help establish something in the spirit of the Martin Luther King Cultural Center, which operated on South Avenue from 1969 to 2011, and the Beacon Community Resource Center, which was located for decades in what is now the Recreation Department building on West Center Street. Kyriacou noted that recreation funding has grown from $304,000 in 2014 to $1.15 million this year, allowing the department to run its after-school program, Camp at the Camp and partnerships with Green Teen Beacon, among other initiatives. The programmatic funds, combined with $15 million in capital improvements to public parks over five years, are "far more important than any building," he said. Kyriacou said he is pitching funders on the rail trail and hopes the project "will be largely funded by other people's money." Conversely, funding for a community center would come from borrowing or taxes, he said. The city must "make choices as to what's most important and in what order we should be doing things," he said. "But most important to who?" Gorton asked. Council Member Carolyn Bennett Glauda added, "Seeing the community center all the way at the end really feels like we kicked it down the curb." The $5.3 million estimate for the project is...

Send us Fan MailUK nonprofit fundraising strategy is changing fast as charities face fewer everyday donors, more competition for trust funding, and growing pressure to build stronger major-donor relationships. In this Global Edition of The Nonprofit Show, Dan Lane, Director of Make Good Happen, brings a clear-eyed view of how philanthropy in the United Kingdom is shifting—and what nonprofit leaders everywhere can learn from it.Dan joins Julia C. Patrick and Matthew Murray for a business-focused conversation about the fundraising squeeze across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. While donor generosity remains alive, the giving landscape is changing. Dan shares that 49% of people who do not give to charity now say they cannot afford it, creating pressure on regular giving programs and pushing more charities toward trusts, foundations, and high-net-worth donors.That shift creates major operational questions for nonprofit leaders. How do you define a major donor? How do you build trust when donors are being asked constantly? How much recognition is appropriate? And when does donor influence become a governance risk?Dan offers a powerful reminder: “If you can't explain what your charity does simply and quickly to somebody and they don't get it… you're going to be at a disadvantage.” For nonprofit executives, fundraisers, and board members, that is not just a communications issue—it is a business strategy issue.The episode also explores high-net-worth giving, donor stewardship, and the role of CEOs and founders in major-gift conversations. Dan notes, “There are doors that only CEOs or founders can open,” while also recognizing that strong development teams are essential for follow-up, relationship management, and long-term donor confidence.This conversation is especially useful for nonprofit professionals thinking about fundraising strategy, charity leadership, major donor development, and how global philanthropy trends may influence local fundraising decisions. Whether your organization is large, small, faith-based, community-centered, or internationally focused, this discussion offers useful perspective on clarity, trust, stewardship, and mission protection.Learn how changing donor behavior in the UK can sharpen your own nonprofit fundraising strategy! 00:00:00 Welcome to The Nonprofit Show Global Edition 00:03:23 Dan Lane and the Work of Make Good Happen 00:05:13 Understanding the UK Fundraising Squeeze 00:07:23 Why Everyday Giving Is Changing 00:08:20 More Competition for Trusts and Foundations 00:09:23 Younger Donors, Generosity, and Limited Resources 00:13:48 High-Net-Worth Giving and Strategy 00:14:33 Why Mission Clarity Drives Donor Confidence 00:16:27 Recognition, Naming Rights, and Donor Motivation 00:19:02 When Donor Power Creates Governance Risk 00:21:49 Why Major Gifts Still Depend on Relationships 00:26:24 The CEO's Role in Major Donor Fundraising #TheNonprofitShow #Ngos #UKFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

In this episode of The Retreat Leaders Podcast, Shannon sits down with Bessie Refalo, a yoga and Pilates retreat leader who is carving out a unique lane in the wellness retreat industry - reformer Pilates retreats in Europe. Bessie shares the behind-the-scenes reality of creating retreats that require specialized equipment, including the challenges of finding venues with reformer Pilates machines and the creative solutions she's used to make her retreats possible. From transporting reformers by lorry in Portugal to discovering bespoke studios in Italy, this conversation is a masterclass in persistence, adaptability, and thinking beyond traditional retreat models. Shannon and Bessie also discuss the rapid growth of the wellness retreat industry, the realities of hosting retreats in Europe, and why networking, flexibility, and on-the-ground familiarity are essential for successful international retreats. This episode is a must-listen for retreat leaders who want to expand internationally, host niche retreats, or navigate complex logistics without giving up on their vision. Key Takeaways Niche retreats (like reformer Pilates) require creativity, persistence, and flexibility. Hosting retreats with specialized equipment presents challenges - but solutions exist. Europe offers strong appeal for US-based retreat guests due to accessibility and travel interest. Building relationships with local studios and partners is key to international retreat success. Logistics, cultural differences, and local business hours matter more than most hosts expect. Networking and in-person learning accelerate retreat growth and confidence. Fully booked retreats are built through clarity, demand, and aligned offerings - not shortcuts. About Bessie Refalo Bessie Refalo is a yoga and Pilates instructor and retreat leader specializing in wellness retreats that combine movement, travel, and intentional experiences.
