Hi Cylvia,
I hope you are doing better weathering that election season storm. We are with you 100 percent and hope to see you back working on the Prosperity Initiative soon. I hope I will see you December 1st at the WealthWorks Northwest meeting at Meyer Memorial Trust where we will share successes, next steps and work on getting the funding collaborative to commit for the long term.
Have a great Thanksgiving!
