Chris and Kristeena Griffith; RAC meeting

Chris and Kristeena Griffith stopped by today. Chris is in the Air Force. He lost his uncle, who lived in Vermont, to ALS this week. It is inspiring that they want to be helpful to other families who have been affected by ALS. They have a van, and so Chris will be helping us move equipment from the loan pool to where it is needed; and he and Kristeena will form a Walk team among neighbors and coworkers. Peace to his family in New England.

I have scheduled our next Regional Advisory Council meeting for Thursday, Sept. 15th at 6pm at Synchronicitea, a new cafe that is right at the entrance to our building at Shaker Place (just off 107th and Pacific). I intend to call all our advisors tomorrow and Friday. If you are part of the RAC, please be there...if you would like to meet some of our advisors (to see if this is a potential fit for you), call me at 991 8788 (area code 402). Lori just opened Synchonicitea, and we are working on doing a "grand opening" fundraiser for ALSA.

Other news today: Principal Financial Group became the latest Walk sponsor in Grand Island! Many new Walk teams have been added to the website (www.alsa-midwest.org)!
