Tom, here. I'm the Dad, and I'm excited about working on a project with the whole family. In addition to helping some great nonprofit organizations, we're going to teach our kids about goal setting, planning for success, and realizing the benefits of our work over time, rather than expecting immediate results. Sue mentioned that half of the net profits from our T-shirt sales will go to food pantries, which is the main thrust of this venture. We want the girls to see that it's possible to combine personal objectives with charitable work, and that the two don't need to be mutually exclusive. Maybe they can help inspire other kids to start sustainable charitable enterprises. I'm looking forward to working with the girls to make connections and establish partnerships with food pantries in different parts of the country, and planning for the expansion of this venture beyond the local area. But we have to start locally. I contacted Pettengill House in Salisbury, MA today to invite them to be our first nonprofit partner, and I'm hoping that they will agree. Stay tuned!
-Tom
