Trip

I am happy to report that I had a successful trip. I was able to present MPM to one individual. He indicated that his wife would be the person to talk to. The jury is still out as to whether there will be any future action here.

Quite by accident, I was able to make a presentation to two organizations. The first, a foundation that my wife has been working with for some time but with little results. Not that I did any better, but I did find out names of other people to contact who might be more supportive. The second, an NPO which fits into my criteria for cause but is a little out of my range for distance. Since this is a cause i want to fight for, I assured myself before making the presentation that I would be willing to go the distance to make this work. They have had two fund raisers and have been unable to raise the funds necessary for them to go forward with a project. I spoke with the person in charge and he is interested in more funds no matter where they come from. However, he is not interested in doing any more work. He is completely tapped out from the two fund raisers he has done and they have just had some staff reductions and he has had to take on some additional responsibilities. I tried to assure him that the work he would have to do would be very little. I am not sure he is convinced but he did agree to meet a gain. Normally, I would have scheduled the next meeting at this time but since this NPO is out of my 30 mile radius I did not know when I could get back so I did not schedule the next meeting. i will however, follow up with an email to set something up.
