What a grand week I had!

What a great last week I had. Let's start from the top. Monday morning, an article about me in the Richmond Times Dispatch, Metro Business Section. The piece talked about the Money Group I started and talked a little about me. Here is the link if you are interested and have not read it. http://www.inrich.com/cva/ric/search.apx.-content-articles-RTD-2008-10-06-0037.html. Cool piece for sure.

The next day I was off the Multicultural Day at the Bellwood Defense Supply Center here in Richmond, Virginia. This was a closed event just for the employees, but it was great to see a governmental agency doing for their people. I meet plenty of interesting people and the day was filled with music and food. Of course, I had over 50 conversations about the economy but hey, that is what I do.

And to end the weekend off, I was the Keynote speaker at the 95th Girl Scout Alumnae Tea. I also had a table there promoting the Kid$ Money College for Girl Scouts. It was great to see the same women when I was a scout, still in the organization and getting their well deserved Legacy Awards. Since Maggie L. Walker is my idol, it was a pleasure to see her Great Great Great Granddaughter there speaking on behalf of her and accepting her award. I was able to meet lots of troop leaders and girls. And oh was I so proud of the girls. They all are very well positioned to be somebody and make something of themselves anywhere they choose. Of course, my daughter was there with her troop and I was so happy to see her interacting and loving Girl Scouts as I did. What a great week and I am sure I will have another great week ahead.

I will start doing a weekly recap of my weeks good or bad for anyone to follow. Any comments please send them to me. And as always, have a great financial day!
