Thanks so much for creating a great event! It was an amazing accomplishment, and you should feel very proud about what you have created. It is the first event of many and is so well set up to succeed. Keep the theme of connecting over a celebration of food. Makes the rest of it come together more tightly. When it is focused on the story of the food, the connection and mutual enjoyment comes together more organically. Great work and thanks a ton for including me.

Thank you so much for your generosity and for the support you continue to give our students. The $1,500 in donations, the turkeys, canned goods, and the 40 Walmart gift cards will make a real difference for our families this Thanksgiving. I’m grateful for your partnership with Wendy and for everything you do through One Table Together. Your kindness is truly appreciated. Wishing you both a very Happy Thanksgiving.

We really enjoyed our time connecting with the students at a table. What a dynamic group. We look forward to having you come to Jordan and do a smaller lunch for sure. Toni and Leah will be in touch in August to start the planning process. As soon as we secure a date, I will get it to you so you can have it on your calendar.

Your One Table Together extravaganza was just that…a stimulating, interesting evening. You had all the bases covered…bright students, dynamic speakers, cultural experiences including international food dishes prepared by the school culinary students. Thought provoking conversation from students and facilitators.

Your preparation to create such a successful event is mind blowing. You have the promise of my continued support and appreciation.

I am sorry I didn’t have the opportunity to meet you in person Tuesday night. I appreciated being included in this wonderful event. I enjoyed learning more about One Table and the impact you’re making in the schools and community. The students at my table were incredible! I look forward to seeing the video!
