Give Them Something to Talk About
I received a call the other day from a very nice woman from the March of Dimes inviting me to a lunch to learn more about what the March of Dimes does with the hopes that I will get involved in their upcoming fundraiser. She was very honest about the nature of the lunch and [...]
Missed Opportunity
