The purpose behind the man. What a delightful experience spending the day with Robert Bateman. Yes, he was gracious and charming but behind the public image and all the talent is a purpose driven life.
I am very thankful for this stretch of sunshine to help me survive days without windows, armed with earplugs and a face mask to combat the grinding, sanding, hammering, papers blown everywhere, yes, but the work must go on. This is all part of the long planned restoration of our building so we are very happy it is finally happening!
I recently had occasion to spend a few days on the west coast of the Island storm watching. Anyone that has been fortunate enough to enjoy this experience will probably join me in saying there are no real words adequate enough to describe the feelings that are stirred.
We enter this year with feelings of gratitude. 2009 was a very good year for Literacy Central, we were busy, we were evolving and we were growing.
No slowing down this summer. We were in full swing finishing the reconfiguring of Well Read Books and developing Dog Tales Children’s Bookstore on the lower level.
When pondering the current economic situation as it relates to the impact on Social Enterprises and our sector of the Not For Profit world the simple beauty of Texas Scramble comes to mind.
As we move through the first half of 2009 together I continue to be amazed by the talent, knowledge and dedication of the staff and over 200 volunteers that support this organization.
