Our charity has had other such events in the past. We've had two previous 'Appreciation Dinners' in the early days of Schools Count Corp. But this is the very first dinner that we have invited the principals of CPS and Harvey, IL schools to attend in order to come face-to-face with the very generous donors and volunteers of SCC.
This has always been part of my vision of Schools Count...having the recipients of the good works of our great benefactors meet one another. Sadly, and far too often, those who support charities rarely, if ever, get to know and understand the plight of those who they are assisting.
I know that's why the principals, who are attending tonight dinner, are making their way to Hinsdale. They are grateful for the help they have received in the past and want to show their appreciation. Of that, I have no doubt.
I'm looking forward to paying tribute to both those in the trenches and those who are willing to come to the aid of children who are trying to forge ahead.
See you tonight!
Dick
