Aiming for half way and then...
The half way point is nearing - and then we start the downhill road to the finish. At least, that's the way we like to think that endings arrive. But more often, there is wind in our face, the clouds roll in and the end seems pretty far off even as it nears.
I have been keeping up my hope because of the many gifts - big and small - that have brought us this far. Many of my backer names I recognize, some I do not. I look forward to thanking all of you personally for the great trust you have put into this project.
I will meet with our first apprentice from Nicollet Square today, and this will be my reminder of why I'm willing to take such a big risk. These young adults need us to be there for them.
October is just around the corner. This fundraiser, just 11 days away. Help me keep the momentum going!
