Foundation Update for June 5, 2013

We had a conference call with one of our awesome mentors yesterday, and it was wonderfully productive!  We are pleased to say that we're on the right road with our foundation and we now have more direction as to how to move forward to officially become a nonprofit.  There were so many things to do all at once that it was pretty overwhelming, so we are grateful for good advice from someone who's already been on this journey.

Kathi is working today on remaking our website.  We've been having issues with the host site that we've been using (which is why that site hasn't been updated as frequently as we would have liked), so our mentor suggested another host.  So far, it looks really good!  Can't wait to unveil the new website!

I'm working on paperwork -- with a new foundation there's always bound to be paperwork.  Thankfully, I love to do this stuff so it's all good!  :)

In IHope Day news, we've written to our local government officials to request that IHope Day be officially recognized as an IH awareness day and we're awaiting their replies.  So exciting!

Kathi has been visiting her future service dog, Lily, each week.  Last week, she was measured for the mobility harness that Lily will wear!  Kathi and Lily are getting closer all the time, and they love seeing each other!  Here's a little video of last night's "hello" session:  GREETING EACH OTHER.  Enjoy!
