You will be pleased to see the site has recently gotten a bit of a facelift and some new power under the hood, too! Speed of the site has improved dramatically, as has the look and feel of the cards, thanks to the geeks over at Grass Commons.

Additionally, efforts are underway to enter more and more organizations, with over 550 of Meyer Memorial Trust's grantees being added to connec+ipedia over the last two weeks. Have you checked your organization's card lately? With an ever-growing wiki, there are many new connec+ions to make!
