Wow, is too weak a term to describe the feeling I had as our Gala weekend came to close late Saturday night in downtown Boston. So many things come together to make an event like this a success. So many people are involved from the musicians, to the printers, to volunteers, to the speakers and their staffs, to the venue, to the sponsors, to the simple logistics of getting people and things from one place to another. And as wonderful as this event turned out to be, it is only a step in the direction of what we want to accomplish here in New England, which is to significantly grow minority businesses and by doing that, create wealth in communities where wealth is needed. So we are back to work this week and will temporarily shut down our event planning operation and re-focus on our opportunity creation operation. Later today, I head down to Washington, DC. to meet with elected officials from the region to explain what we do and how they can help. I hope that all who attended were inspired as I was to do more to accomplish our glorious mission. Thank you.
