Private Reception September 13, 2023
Nonprofit people are so interesting. When more than 60 nonprofit leaders, Florida Nonprofits’ members, and supporters of the Florida nonprofit sector got together for a meet & greet at Dr. Barry Burak‘s magnificent Coconut Grove home on September 13 we had a great time. We had delicious food and drinks while everyone had an opportunity to introduce themselves and we learned what our members were up to. For example, Pedro Curbelo has started Koala ABA & Learning Centers to provide services to children diagnosed with ASD or ADHD. Pedro was able to network with new member Israel Hecht from Safe Sensory Room, who gifts children with severe autism “an autism haven at home” and offered a scholarship for training as instructors to other attendees.
The synergy was awesome!
New Preferred Partners Jason Sylvan and Evan Levine from Proforma M3 and John Pastore from Solutions Alliance’s LetzChat informed the group about new products and services available.
To everyone who came, thank you for your support. We know you had a great time, and we will meet up with you again on December 5 for the next Meet & Greet event.
