This is it. The last TiF Weekly issue of 2024 and I’d be lying if I said I wan’t feeling a bit emotional about it all right about now. It was a long journey we all took together. And when I look back to Week 1 of TiF I am reminded that it’s not really about why we started but it truly is about the journey we’ve had along the way.

You know me and numbers! I love to share them! Not to brag but to show that even though this thing we do might not be big enough to receive the recognition we all feel it deserves from the powers that be, but to show it still has an impact on all of us and sends ripples whenever we continue to do the work and share TiF proudly! With that said… Here’s one final look at TiF By the Numbers in 2024:
