day 191

Lisa (on the left) threw a 'Celebrate Cynthia' party tonight at Wine Steals in Point Loma. They used to work together for the California Charter School Association (which is how I met Cynthia.) As we were working things out last year, deciding what to do about the charter at Clear View, they came in to help us out and give us support from the charter side. We continued a close relationship with Cynthia as we moved on and wrote our new 'smarter charter.' She was an AMAZING help to us along the way and now serves on our Board of Trustees. Unfortunately, the CCSA had to scale back and laid her off a couple of months ago. But... we feel very blessed to benefit from this situation and are SO excited about working with her as a part of our LdV staff. She is terrific and we are so grateful for her! Cynthia, you rock!
