“Nice job! I received the GGA [Golden Gate Academy] brochure for the Playground Improvement Project today. It looks great! Did you have an outside firm help with this or did you do this in-house? In any event, as someone who works with a lot of nonprofits, I see a lot of these materials – some well done, some not so – and this looks very well done to me. Good work. Rick and I would be pleased to make a gift. We’ll discuss it and let you know what level.”
