NYC momentum
I don't know what it is about this part of the country that kicks up my momentum for making things happen.
Last week we had a meeting of the formative Board of Directors for the Brother Lemonade Breast Cancer Initiative. We finalized our very vivid Pantone-specific colors for our logo, and decided that our branding would focus on a dba of "The Lemonade League", as it was far more understandable than the name of our organization.
We also nailed down the Mission Statement to the following:
In the midst of the frightening, isolating world of breast cancer detection and treatment, The Lemonade League cultivates clarity, compassion, connection,and courage; and serves solutions with fresh, new twists.
Meanwhile, Phil and I have gone ahead with the purchase of the last independent food booth at the Texas Renaissance Festival. The Queen's Pantry is the first food shop on the right as one enters the festival. The shop has long-standing and reliable employees, many of whom are planning to return. I'm still waiting to speak with a few of them.
I'll drive out of New York on the 5th of September to be able to meet my first delivery at he festival; which is scheduled for September 9th. Some of the returning employees have been there for 12 and 14 years, so I'll have some good help getting things figured out. I'm responsible for the wedding cakes for the weddings scheduled at the Texas Renaissance Festival. Currently I do not have to bake for opening weekend, but I have to make 14 cakes for the second weekend.
I know it sounds as though we're biting off a lot here, but the long-term picture is one of us making our money in a very intense 5 months, which leaves time for the things that are more imortant to us, like The Lemonade League, Habitat for Humanity, and growing organic avocados.
