Something gets me really excited about choreographing and performing our fiesta dance performance every year. I feel lucky to have Shawn and a diverse group of amazing people willing to do anything and have a ton of fun in the process, and make over 1,300 people smile and laugh in the end.
I wish everyone could experience it. October 17th, don't miss it.
Had a great Board meeting and BBQ last night with all our new staff and Pat, our new Board member. I've said this before, but I feel so lucky to be leading an organization that draws such amazing people at every level. Even everyone's spouses are super cool. It looks like we'll be changing our name from Intercambio de Comunidades to Intercambio Boulder County, Intercambio Denver, and any other Intercambio followed by the region served.
Now I have Luna, Vicky's dog, by my side. Vicky will be picking her up in a bit. I got Luna from her doggie camp and left her in the car for 5 minutes while I visited my buddies Omar and Edgar who were working at IHOP. 2 minutes later a guy asked me if that was my dog who jumped out the car window. Yup.
I'm excited that today I talked to someone willing to intern to help market the immigrant guide by beginning to fill in a spreadsheet of who to mail it to throughout the country (consulates, government offices, hospitals, major employers, schools, etc). She'll hopefully start to identify where to send them, who to address, and who has the authority to eventually purchase them in large quantities if interested. It's a ton of info to gather and organize.
Buenos nachos,
