Day 68 - Visit to NPOs

Today was my schedule to go meet the Agawam Director of Bands, Bill Hueglin, I sent him an e-mail last week so he can watch the video. However, when I met him, he still was not able to watch it. So I gave him an summary of TWCCTW and My Power Mall is. He said he still have a lot of questions but will watch the video He will schedule a meeting with the President of the Band Parents Association, Denise Einzig, next week.

I also met with Julian March who is a member of the Youth Action Coalition, a program that help youth groups. He has seen the video and has lots of question on the payment scheme and membership support. He will make a recommendation to the Executive Director, Stacey Lennard. He will call me next week.

I also went to the Amherst Survival Center to me with Tracey Levy, Program Director and volunteer coordinator. However, due to an emergency meeting with the Board she has to cancel our meeting.

I also went to the office of the Marigold Fund and talked to Gary Moorehead who is co-founder of the Marigold Fund, a nonprofit humanitarian group based in Amherst, MA. I gave him my card and he told me that he will watch it and schedule our next meeting with Debbie Knight who is the Chairman of the Board.

For the rest of the day, I made follow up calls but was not able to talk to anybody. However, in my e-mail follow up, I got a response from several leads like Holly and Amandah who scheduled phone calls.
