Neil Grossman
A special thank you to Neil Grossman for being the first and longest sponsor of the Norwood Memory cafe.
When I first started my venture I attended the Norwood Senior Service Providers Meeting to network.
I let attendees know I was starting a Memory Cafe and had the skill set but had yet to establish the other critical components.
I needed sponsors, donors, a place to host the cafe and staff. Neil raised his hand and said he would sponsor me wherever I hosted the cafe.
I booked the libraries function room for six months to have a place to launch. I received many business cards and offers to help.
Neil came to the very first memory cafe and has been consistently there every month since. His sponsorship came with no marketing request attached. He sincerely just wanted to help.
The cafe attendees sincerely appreciate Neil and his commitment to support this ongoing endeavor.
Thank you Neil for all you do you are truly one of a kind.
