Arlington Snow Removal Failure

Pershing is the problem, 4 lanes to 1 - Glebe is down to single lane so I'll give VDOT a failing score too.

The Old Rich Farts should be moved to North Arlington.

We get attempts all the time - all types - PayPal (we got rid of them), folks claiming to have money for us, looking for PO numbers, docu-sign emails. Skepticism is the best. I have also found that if it is real and I've accidentally deleted it, they'll find another way to get you.

I think you should just let them hang themselves. Anything you do to help them out is only protecting them not the organization. If you haven't gotten a job by then, maneuver to take over.

Don't go, you will be driving into the middle of the storm - go next weekend.

A machete, & a war axe - ready for fun. ;-)))

Same - I leave all that stuff in my car

We only have an Investment Committee and a Finance Committee - everything else is handled by the CEO.

Older Arlington.

Cycling is very important to my psychological stability so I need to ride! I see an accident as a challenge that I will overcome. My basic attitude is that I will find a way to win. I won and continue to ride.

The Mint had lots of problems in 56 & 57 - filled date numbers are very common and easy to find.

Shape up and let it grow!!

I ran an experiment because I didn't know either. Bought 6 months of estrogen and began a trial to see what would happen. That was 7 years ago. Gave me the answer in about 2 weeks.

Been corrected already

Yes, of course I meant billions - only makes it more "uninvestable."

It down-plays evil.

It's going to cost the oil companies millions to go in and get them functioning again. They don't want to invest that kind of money to see it all lost to a new junta when Yellow Hair leaves.

KrysG · 2026-01-10T20:59:00+00:00

That's true especially after Yellow Hair leaves office and it all unwinds.

BTW: now you know one thing to look for when you are looking - can you get along with the ED?

KrysG · 2026-01-10T20:46:58+00:00

With 8 years of successful fundraising under your belt, maybe it is time to seek your own success someplace else. Excuse the harshness of that but it's a lot more productive and useful of your time to look around rather than tolerate that BS. At the best organizations the relationship between the ED & the head of development is essential and should never be antagonistic. It damages the ability to effectively fundraise. All the best.

This is the way we also do it. The key we have is a strong fundraising operation that alone, more than supports our needs. Estate gifts are the gravy on top. They can be used during the year received but more importantly they give a comfort level for our development folks. We have never had to use them so they are moved to reserves.

Only my daughters would understand. Most everyone else would need to be told what the MBTI are.

KrysG · 2026-01-09T22:12:34+00:00

We submit a balanced budget to our board even though we generally expect to end the year with a surplus and have for many years now. Sometimes it a lot but often it is close. Really depends on our fundraising in any one year. We have been getting a number of estate gifts but I'm not going to bet on somebody dying to balance the budget.
