 n for his schmoozing skills, is this month's facilitator.\n \nArt of 
 the Schmooze\nForming and cultivating relationships is at the heart of
  any successful fundraising campaign, volunteer drive, committee effor
 t or community building activity. This workshop will give you the conf
 idence to pursue your personal goals - from the importance of shaking 
 hands and making eye contact, to tips on the best opening line and how
  to exit a conversation gracefully. An amazing side benefit is that yo
 u'll learn how to create a welcoming community space by keeping an eye
  out for outliers, considering yourself a host instead of a guest and 
 knowing how to compliment someone without \"othering\" them.\n \nABOU
