You can say what you want about Bill Gates, but it would be hard to argue that he hasn't been successful. He's one of the wealthiest people on earth, having co-founded one of the world's most valuable companies. He now spends his time giving away all of that money to causes like eradicating polio. His is not a bad resume.

Thank you to everyone who supported all the amazing businesses through not only our little program but in so many other ways as well. (photo: Laurie Wood, CraftWork Community Manager, preparing hot meals for pick up and delivery).
