"THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU- I am so happy with my decision to think outside the box on this part of the grant.  My grant supervisor was very excited about what we were able to do in our retreat. I am putting you on their vendor list for next year. I think this was MOST helpful, and I already see so much change in the culture. I absolutely have in mind to have you back for a tune-up when we raise more funds. I have even included your services in a grant I recently submitted." —Alesia Alexander Layne, Executive Director, Project KARMA
