After numerous conversations over several weeks, as well as several glasses of wine, we have our charity in place, complete with a President, Cindy, and a Vice-President, myself. Cindy and I have talked at length about how we plan to raise money for this charity, as well as how we plan to spend the money in charitable acts. We have some ideas; we would like to help people on a one to one basis survive these tough economic times. Perhaps buying dinner for a family to put on their table or a new winter coat for the kid that otherwise would only have a sweatshirt to keep him warm.
We are now at the point of choosing a Board of Directors. We believe that gathering together a small pool of people, complete with thier own preferences and life experiences, will enable us to fine tune what causes speak to our hearts. We are looking for someone(s) that we respect, that have a generous and helpful spirit, and will just plain be fun to be around. As we fill our Board and through many more conversations, (and glasses of wine) we hope to have a cause revealed to us. I will keep you posted as to how we succeed in this pursuit.
