I hope you all are doing well. I just came back from a quick errand today and was surprised how cold it has gotten from just a week ago, as if to remind me how quickly time had passed by. It's actually November and that time of the year again when we push our clocks back an hour.
And also, time for photos. :-) As you know, some of us New Yorkers spent time together just a week ago. Here's how it all went down... (haha)
Doing a little arm-twisting game here...
Greg was figuring out something here...
It's singing time!!!
Rainy days and Mondays...
Hitting the notes and a 98!
The final number.
Thanks to Mon for the sumptuous Veggie Lasagna. Jo-Ann and Mae, thanks for the booze-- everyone should feel free to stop by anytime for a drink or two.
Moving on to some updates, which I would like to share with you...
From our individual team meetings over the past months, many of you know that we had been targeting a launch date of October 30th for our website. Many of you also probably know that there are some delays that we have been experiencing with some of our non-profit partners, our overall website development, and other things on our to-do list.
First of all, I thank everyone for taking these delays in stride and still moving as expeditiously as possible to get our website and overall processes ready.
We all look forward to start funding our local partners' school supply needs. With everyone's help and contribution, we will get there, and I am eagerly anticipating some of our projects to start receiving funding very soon.
Second, start sharing our idea to friends, family, acquaintances, and colleagues. Our foundation was built on this spirit of getting involved, even in the smallest ways. You never know who would want to help fund or projects, or be part of our team for that matter! We could always use help in all the different branches of our organization.
Third, please feel free to post any suggestions, feedback here on this blog. Share with everyone what you think about anything that interests you-- our foundation, our partners, our website... anything at all!
There are so many more things to accomplish, a lot of places to explore, and ways to grow. It's overall just nice to have been able to start something with all of you.
Enjoy the coming Holiday Season!!!!
