Rodger,
Figure a few of your readers might like a place that opens champagne
the right way — with a sword. :)
If I haven’t told you, I’m helping stand up a new charity focused on
Veteran’s employment. There is a real crisis with Veteran
unemployment, and Mission: VALOR (
http://missionvalor.org)
is focused on practical efforts to bridge the gaps and provide solid
careers, not just a job. We incorporated last Monday, and have
already
been doing things to try to help even before incorporation. Our
flagship program will focus on the culinary/hospitality fields, and the
testbed will be in the culinary/hospitality capital of the U.S., New
York City.
The wonderful people at The Baroness are hosting a launch party on 27
March from 7-9, both to help introduce us to New York and to help raise
funds for our 501(c)(3) filing. Donations are not (yet) tax
deductible, but we hope to file ASAP and will be requesting (and paying
for) expedited determination. Please know you are invited to this
and
any of our events, and I hope you might share the news as well.
Figure

Any questions, drop me a line or call me at 765-409-5646.
Thanks!
