Happy Dollars
Chris Lamadrid thanked Ike Eickenhorst for his tremendous efforts to coordinate our speaker list, which is now booked through July. She also announced starting today through May 19 we will be donating our Happy Dollars to Beanz. Beanz is moving their business to the old Moto Photo and raising funds to renovate the space to include a commercial kitchen.
Salin Low was happy to share the Beanz fundraiser on social media and see that they are doing well and on their way to reaching their goal.
Prasad Menon was grateful for Mike Mezheritskiy going above and beyond translating six pages of a document from Ukrainian to English to help him complete disaster relief paperwork to donate two mobile homes to Ukrainians.
Larry Haber was looking forward to going to Mohegan Sun to see the Electric Light Orchestra experience with his wife Linda and was happy to enjoy lunch in Rhode Island with friends he met on a cruise last year.
Gary Miller looked forward to cleaning up the Farmington River with the Farmington River Anglers Association for Earth Day. He pointed out that the coasters he placed on each table were from The Underground (they spoke last week). He found one stuck to the bottom of his beer glass at Flatbread and learned they had made 25,000 coasters to spread awareness and act as a resource for those needing help.
Sue Budde donated to Beanz and was happy to deem her dog Willow road trip worthy! Sue and Bill took a road trip to New Hampshire, and Willow tagged along for outlet shopping and a hotel stay!
Luke Violette gave a shoutout to his alma mater, Quinnipiac for winning the National Men's Hockey Championship. He is also looking forward to a trip to Jamaica next week.
Dick Kisiel was proud of his daughter, the director of elementary education in Avon for successfully defending her doctorate thesis at UPenn, she is now Dr. Jones!
