Week of November 2, 2018

Happy Friday, Collaborators!

Zonta grant: Fast on the heels of the DCYF grant submission, we have submitted a grant to the Zonta Club! Felicia, in her role as Finance Workgroup Lead is on a roll – pun intended 🙂 She had the grant in good shape when Melissa, in her role as Backbone, applied her legendary communication and marketing skills to the task. The result was a very strong submission – thanks to both! If you know any members of the Zonta Club, please let them know about our work.

As part of the grant submission we were able to sort out a longer-term solution for our Fiscal Agent. We are pleased to report that ChildStrive has agreed to serve our collaborative in that capacity forth is and future grants. We are most grateful! Special thanks to Sarah Pulliam for making it happen.

Participation opportunity: To promote the upcoming Health Fair, we will be visiting the Delta neighborhood after church on Sunday, November 4 and 11 at2:00 PM each day. We’d love to have you join us! Please let Felicia know if you want to support this effort.

Transitions: Xinyao deGraw has taken a new position with the State. We have appreciated her service in her tole as Data Interpreter. She has graciously agreed to help out where she can while we find someone to fill this role. Thanks, Xinyao, we wish you all the best!

Till next week!
