A Letter of Support from Mayor Bloomberg

The dotOrg-athon received a wonderfully worded letter from Mayor Bloomberg today which rather impressed me because it actually describes the impetus behind the event exactly the way I would want it to be described. lol I guess his letter writers are sharp cookies who actually read the written materials I sent in.

Yes, nice sentiment. Almost makes me forget the extreme bitterness I feel at having to completely gut my beautiful concept like a fish... Almost.

Non-profit organizations fulfill a vital need in services and support throughout the five boroughs. Today's event is a terrific opportunity to celebrate the work of these vital organizations and the tremendous impact they have on our City. It is also a wonderful example of the community-minded spirit of New Yorkers, something we are working hard to expand and cultivate through NYC Service initiatives. Making non-profits stronger involves collaboration between government and non-profits, and our Administration is committed to ensuring that these organizations have the resources and support necessary to thrive during these economic times.

Nice. I guess I'll read it out loud on the day of the event. :sigh: Though it would have been even nicer if someone from his office could have returned my call...
