Catching Up and Fundraiser

Today has been a day of catching up. I had fallen behind a little on email and other tasks. We’re also heading into our first quarter-end with investors on board, so I’m working with our bookkeeping and accounting.

Tonight we’ll be attending the annual fundraiser – dinner and silent auction – for Leadership Waterloo Region. It should be a nice night. One can have a lot of fun with a silent auction, although I must admit to enjoying a more vocal auction also. Several of our stakeholders (investors, future investors, etc.) will be in attendance also. So while it’s a social evening, for a great cause, it’s also business related.

Finding a location/site for our first center remains at the top of mind. This is absolutely our number one task right now. We are getting close with two properties, and there are other properties to consider.

While we’re eager to get started, we must also remain cautious and vigilant. Deciding on our location, and negotiating a favourable agreement, are two critical steps. We cannot and will not settle upon an unsuitable location simply because it is the best available option. While we must move as quickly as possible, we must also find a location and agreement that work well for the business.
