Variety

One of the reasons I love working as a non-profit leader is that I am never bored.  Last night, within about a three hour time period, I picked up trash, did some writing, mingled with donors and board members, ate dinner with members, chased down a scholarship winner who was coming back from a college basketball game, unclogged a toilet, refilled toilet paper, gave a speech, dressed up as Santa and managed staff.

Last night was our Alumni Hall of Fame dinner and it is always a great night.  It highlights the long term good that we do (we inducted a Congressman, Police Chief, composer and Olympic gold medalist who grew up in the Club) as well as our current success (4 members were given college scholarships).  Our development staff does a great job making it a special night by paying attention to all the details.

This is my first post in a month or so.  I’ve been traveling and trying to have some balance in my life.  I should be posting more regulalry after Thanksgiving (and my 20 year high school reunion).
