Dawn...I receive the Jon Gordonnewsletter through email which I findvery inspiring.  The paragraph belowcaught my attention, as I immediatelythought of your Foundation team.  Idon't know if this is something youwould consider submitting...but as anoutsider working with your team in avariety of functions, I think youexemplify the 'power of a positiveteam'.I'm about to start writing my next bookbased on this newsletter titled ThePower of a Positive Team. It's notabout leadership. It's about teamworkand what makes great teams great. Iwant teams to read this book andunderstand what they have to do to bea great team. If you have an example ofgreat teamwork that you think I shouldinclude in the book I would love to hearyour suggestion. Feel free to email meat [email protected]. -Belinda Hussong 55

Hi Shelly, How are things in Grant County? I attended Community FoundationBootcamp in Fort Wayne last week. Dawnprovided a wealth of information on assetdevelopment and was gracious enough to share some samples of the work you allare doing in donor communication. I was really impressed with your 2016-2017Annual Report/map. I brought it back and shared it with several colleagues and we are all dying to know who your  designer is? Would you be able to share that info with me? Thank you! Kallie Sulanke Community Engagement Officer The Community Foundation of Muncie and Delaware County, Inc.68

Hi Dawn, It was great to be a part of today’s presentations. It was very beneficial for the students to see what could potentially happen if their grant moves forward. It was really helpful for them to be there for today’s presentations and see real grants presented.Thank you again for helping the students this semester. You made a huge difference. One of the students commented that they could listen to you all day!

My niece's husband, Drew Tittle, a Marion police officer, recently made a small contribution to my parents' fund.  In an email to me he mentioned that the policedepartment received bullet-proof vests, courtesy of the CommunityFund, and that it was a \"God-send\" (something like that...) because the department could not have otherwise afforded them.  Impressive.Best,Larry Wayne Richards, Toronto 75

Dawn, I cannot tell you how excited I am about the possibilities for our community. I have felt such a good vibe for 2018. I have hatched a plan and will let you know how my funding asks go. Also, we should meet to work out a plan for OMW asks for the 2019-2020 school year. I would also like to see if you would have any interest in serving on our community investment committee in the spring of 2019. I really think people just don’t realize the extent of what the United Way supports. I think having advocates like you that can not only understand and help share our story but also see bigger ways that we can connect will be transformative for our organization. Thank you so much for all you are doing to change the culture in Grant County.  Alicia Hazelwood Executive Director United Way of Grant County82

Hi Dawn. Again- we can’t say thanks enough. Thought you mightappreciate this note and hope you are feeling better this morning. Karlie BowmanA Healthy Community 83

Hello Dawn! I just wanted to thank you again for taking time out of your busy schedule to connect Steve Sapp and myself. I had a meeting with him, as well as RileyTangeman, on Tuesday and it was great! I was enlightened on many opportunities through MHA that I wasn't previously aware of. Speaking with them gave me hope for the revitalization of our downtown, and encouragement for my business plans. I hope you have a great weekend! Thanks Again, Michael Mathias  91
