So where have we been???
Well we spent July preparing and rallying votes for Pepsi Refresh, as we had entered the contest in hopes of winning a grant to help Despite Dyslexia get of the ground.
We ran in the contest for two months and considering how young our organization is I am pretty impressed that Despite Dyslexia finished 88 in July and 116 in August, out of over 400 other entries. Even though we didn't win a big fat check we were blessed by the support of some of the most amazing dyslexia advocates, made a boat load of new friends, and touched on the awareness of dyslexia to tons of the voters of our alliances!
October was time to re-energize, regroup and do some major research. We have talked to a lot of extremely talented people....even a real life Pirate!! We have been given greatly needed and appreciated advise as well as stormed through some ideas of our own. We have found friends to help with those tricky 501 c (3) forms and grant writing.
November is approaching, there is so much work to do... and this vision is worth every bit of it.
