Newsletter, 2003

Thank you everyone for your emails, comments, suggestions, ideas, knowledge and more.

The Real Foundation is marching forward - slowly - but positively in the right direction.

I have been trying to find a corporate partner to help our foundation with a large influx of money. Many companies are intrigued and are still considering the opportunity. I remind them that there are most likely women within their company that could use some uplifting and self-confidence boosters. The Foundation can help these women achieve their "feel good" goals and the workplace would be more positive and better for the company!

So in the meantime, I talk and talk to many companies, their employees and children in school! I talk and make my presentation of the lessons learned from Survivor & we have fun!

The adults identify with the struggles of backroom politics, leadership or lack of leadership - when to step out, insulating your life to avoid conflict - why? And many more subjects - and I talk for a small fee that goes to the foundation.

The children are wonderful to talk with! And of course I talk to the schools for free! We talk about team, don't prejudge people, sustainability, positive attitudes, honesty & integrity.

We will be updating our web site, so stay tuned!

And our alliance with Outward Bound is slowly becoming a reality. I invite you to their website, www.HurricaneIsland.com!

Thanks again and please let me know of any corporations that would like to be involved as a donor or to have me speak. I can send them a CD of my presentation & references!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
