Lessons Learned
• We wish we would have built this before registry week - we would have had an online liability waiver with a link to the HousingONE donation page
• It can be difficult to get the stories, so start this right from the beginning
• Nominate one or two people to develop & approve design
• Social networking is a powerful tool: be careful what you post!
