Creative Connector News (May 2022 Newsletter)

Connecting People to People and Ideas to Results.

This month’s Creative Connector newsletter honors my mother, Dorothy Schwartz, truly the wind beneath my wings who I miss each and every day, she passed away on September 26, 2015.

Everything I learned about relationship selling I learned from my mother and father. Read more, here.

I also want to honor my Sister, Cyndee Goldstein; mother-in-law (Mom 2), Doris Griffin; sisters-in-law, Joy Martinez and Annette Griffin and my nieces who are mothers, Courtney Lewis and Shelby Siegel.

To all the dear friends and colleagues Jim and I have had the pleasure to know over the years you are so special to us. I know you feel the same way with those in your life on this upcoming Mother’s Day.

As you read this newsletter, think about who you’ve touched, how they have touched you within your own families, friendships and organizations.

There are many women and men who have had such an impact on me throughout my life. As a result, one of the cornerstones of my company is to pay it forward and help for-profit and non-profit organizations build more meaningful and significant relationships that lead to business generation and sustaining strategic partnerships.

Saluting the Bettie Brand Mother's Empowerment Fund!

The Bettie Brand Mother’s Empowerment Fund began in 2009 founded by daughter, Candace Brand Kaspers (former Chair of the Atlanta YWCA Board of Directors) and son, Jeffrey Brand, to honor their mother and ALL other mothers and special others who contribute so much to their families and communities.

The purpose of the fund and organization is to, “Provide women in need with a hand up, not a handout, so they may live with dignity and independence."

Every year, the Fund provides stipends of up to $10,000 to amazing women, each of who agrees to “pay it forward” whenever and however she is able.

We have an opportunity to honor Bettie Brand and other mothers everywhere just before Mother’s Day, Wednesday, May 4th from 5:30-6:30 pm a “Virtual Cooking Event” – “The Secret Life of Vegetables Flavorful Affair” - with Chef Lamont Rooker to learn how to prepare mouthwatering dishes for the people you love.

Please join me, our board and all current and prospective donor attendees from the last 14 years and, view the event virtually and make a $50 donation today. We greatly appreciate it.
