A New Venture

You'll notice I still haven't posted the update I promised over Thanksgiving weekend.  Please forgive me.  I think you'll understand why after this post.

I have been working on a very special project with my friend, Laura Dennis, for about six months.  We decided we wanted to reach out to other young widows in our area since there really aren't any organizations that do this locally.  It has been a time consuming but very rewarding process as we brought our organization to life.  As you can imagine, I'm very passionate about helping others who are in this situation.  And Laura and I also feel this is a wonderful way to honor the memory of our spouses.

The organization is called Chicagoland Young Widowed Connection (CYWC).  We have lots of great ideas and plans for the future. We are in the process of incorporating as a non-profit and will soon start the process of applying as a tax-exempt organization.

Please check out the website and let me know if you have any feedback.  And also please pass this on to anyone who think may benefit from our group. 

Thanks for your help!

P.S. One of these days, I'll get around to writing that update!
