Why is it only $12.99? We are a nonprofit and when the Packards wrote their books they pledged the proceeds to nonprofits. It wasn’t long until we realized the very best way we could help nonprofits was to get their books in nonprofit’s hands. We hope this reduced pricing makes that possible.\nGOING FULL CIRCLE: Confessions of a Serial Nonprofiteer. For more than two decades, Bill and Barbara Packard immersed themselves in the nonprofit world. From creating an all-volunteer, free medical clinic, to reviving two moribund thrift store operations—one of which donated three quarters of a million dollars to local nonprofits in four short years. And when they thought it was time to rest on their laurels the desire to help those in need lead them to open a free food pantry. One that always had, milk, eggs, and meat; was open when people could come by without missing work; and let them “shop” for the food they wanted and would use. And it was available weekly instead of the normal monthly presorted food box. It wasn’t always pretty, but this book shares the honest and creative journey from run of the mill volunteer to innovative servant leader. Their story offers you a chance to see how things really work and how the nonprofit world can change to be much more effective.\n“The Packard’s were known to have the Midas touch when it came to charitable operations. 
Flagstaff Mayor Gerald Nabours,\n"You'll laugh. You'll cry." You've heard that old saying a thousand times. But when you read Bill Packard's brilliantly alive Flagstaff, Arizona memoir, “Going Full Circle: Confessions of a Serial Nonprofiteer,” you will find yourself laughing, crying, cussing humanity, and loving what Bill tells us about deep community commitment; off-the-charts innovative non-profit design; the tenderness of a full marriage partnership; the depths of a loss; and the persistence of a couple determined to address not just injustice, but the structures and misguided humans that perpetuate it. Bill and Barbara Packard have given all of Flagstaff back to itself, and have done that through the practice of hard steady work. With any luck, you will finish this book and immediately contact potential allies to join with you in nurturing your community as Barbara and Bill Packard have.”
