Thanksgiving came and went without this posting. I had the best of intentions to write a nice note about what Scientopia was thankful for in 2008 and just never did it. So instead it will be a New Year's Post.
Given all the ups and downs we experienced in 2008 we thought it would be nice to take this opportunity to extend our thanks to a few people who have helped sustain us in this adventure!
Mike Moffett at Coldwell Banker has been AMAZING this past year. We could not have done this without his patience and determination.
Bob Jessell at Central Valley Builders Supply, our new landlord, has also been tremendous. He gave us a chance and believed in our project and we are grateful for that. When no other landlord wanted kids in their building he was genuinely excited at the possibilities we have to offer the kids in Napa.
Roberta Goodin (Napa Lit), Lola Cornish (CRC), Joelle Gallagher (COPE Family Center), Mechele Small Haggard (genius), Dom & Jillian Tamber (web designers), Julia DeNatale (Wolfe Center), Kate King (Chamber of Commerce) Mark Van Gorder (City Councilman), Brad Wagenknecht (County Supervisor), Jill Techel (Napa Mayor), Craig Smith & Julie Morales (Napa Downtown Association), Beth Pratt and Staff (Napa Small Business Development Center), Bob & Wendy Miller (PB&J's), Kathleen & Ed Hart (First Presbyterian Church), Sarah Van Giesen (designer), Tom & Judy Blix (The Little Gourmet), Paul Franson (Mr. Napa Life), Jennifer Huffman (Napa Register), have all made calls, sent emails and just gave us help when we needed it etc… there are too many names to list here. If you have helped us we appreciate it and sincerely thank you!
