It's been a busy couple of weeks! It seems as if I'm not working, I'm fundraising, attending fundraisers, and going to the gym. Oh, yes. That's right. I'm going to the gym and working out. It just hit me that I'm not 20 any more and I'm getting older (much older) not younger. So off to the gym I go. 4 times a week. And, I actually look forward to it.
But back to fundraising. On April 30th, Achieving Leadership's Purpose is hosting its Leadership Benefit Breakfast. The Guest Speaker is Maurice Coleman. Advanced tix are $50. At the door is $65. The ALP students will be speaking and will be in attendance at this event. So you'll know I'll be there. It's 9 am at Chocolat. Harlem People, come out!
