I

know some are wondering what I am doing since leaving Read to Succeed Buffalo on

12/31/2011 as a result of downsizing. I am surviving in a world filled with hope and

positive dreams.

On Saturday, I found out that I had been nominated for an award for the 2012 National

Women History Month on March 30th at the Buffalo Convention Center. Needless to

say, I am humbled by the nominated that recognizes my work in the community

supporting education. This was an unexpected nomination. As such, I am looking

forward to being honored at this event.

Just thought I'd share the good news with my Linkedin connection.
