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!

It was a great pleasure to meet you and participate in such wonderful program for the youth! It will certainly help them how to be independent thinkers and how to be kind and respectful with each other; and hopefully have a better future world with more kindness and charity.
Thank you again for such a lovely experience and thank you and your husband for your love in preparing such lovely event!

I have been raving about the incredible experience that was last night! It was truly a privilege to hear the speakers (including you and Liz) who were inspirational, to enjoy a delicious international family-style meal professionally catered by our very own ProStart students with instruction and direction from Dylan and your wonderful Cuisine Unlimited staff, and above all, to engage in wonderful affirming, respectful, joyful bridge-building through conversation.

Thank you! Thanks to Marv! And thanks to everyone who organized the event. This morning, I emailed the Highland admin, faculty and staff to update them about the event, to prime them for the follow-up, and to express my gratitude to Julie, Jeremy and Dylan for being an integral part of the experience which blessed the lives of all who participated.

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.

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.
