A little bit of this

Happy Monday!  This week is a new week and it has started off nicely. Today wasn't a very interesting day, but it was productive. I mainly e-mailed different people about the Education Center. I set a meeting with another director of a nonprofit in Albany. I also got paperwork to file at the Albany County Clerks office. Over the weekend, I received a cash donation for our nonprofit and I need to make sure I keep all of the business funds separate from my personal bank accounts. Luckily, I am familiar with the paperwork and know what I need to file to open a business bank account because I used to work in finance in the banking industry. It is funny that I am on the other side now.  I need to pay $30 to file with Albany county and register as a DBA.  Every step towards my goal makes me very excited and confident that I will be successful. 
I am still looking for board members and I have gotten some good leads. Later on this month I will be going to a networking breakfast and I will meet some more people. Being new to the Albany area is challenging at times, but people are friendly for the most part. Generally, when people hear what I am working towards they are supportive and willing to help in different ways. I am happy that this week is a full week without any holidays. I am ready to work and make some more progress!
