Donate at Stanford Blood Center in April and have a TREE planted in your honor / Help support Sierra Club |

is celebrating a renewed commitment to the environment and providing easy ways for our donors to help the planet, too!
For each donation made in April, SBC will be planting one tree in Uganda as part of Forestmatic reforestation project in the country. Uganda has lost more than half of its forest land in the past 30 years, so this is a great way to save lives through blood donation, and to support the rebuilding of native ecosystems.

Avoid Government Penalties..........Be Compliant!! |
|
It's a new year, and we're all thinking about setting goals for taking care of ourselves. But are you also thinking about taking care of your business?
In this program, business lawyer Galia Schmidt will discuss the many things your business should be doing regularly to stay in compliance and set your business up for success -- and avoid lawsuits or penalties for accidentally missing something.
Topics will include
- local and state business licenses
- internal documents like operating agreements
- annual meetings
- employee handbooks and posters
- intellectual property, and more.
This program will be relevant to businesses of all sizes and types, but is a must-do for owners of LLCs, corporations, and businesses with employees.
Live Event (Online) April 28, 2022, 12:00pm PDT
Registration Fee: $30
