One of my favorite days of the year is when I sit down and write out checks to my favorite nonprofits, who do the good work that makes my life great in one way or another.   It makes me feel rich!  I am grateful for the successful year of business that allowed me to support my favorite nonprofits again this year.  I look forward to the day I can give even more.

Yellowstone Park Foundation : For the unforgettable setting to Diene & my first road trip

Goodman Community Center: the fitness center has help stave off the winter blues

WORT FM : always something good on the radio with local voices

Madison Public Library Foundation:  for the love of books

WI Humanities Council: for the most awesome event of the year, The Wisconsin Book Festival
