<div dir="ltr">Hi Gothamites,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Happy Holidays!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We have all received and many of us have participated in the Gotham Season of Giving...</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I think that I've given every year, but didn't think too much about it, until this year!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I decided to go to the Holiday Party, sort of at the last minute, not sure why. Maybe because I wouldn't see all those famous portraits at the Friar's Club. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So, while at the Holiday Party, the drawing for the winning member's charities was being announced. I paid little attention, being occupied by eating whatever was on my plate, until I heard my name called. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What? Me? I won something? Oh, the charity of my choice. Gee, nice!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Then I got the check for Planned Parenthood of NYC ($4,000) and I brought it to the development office. Well, they were so happy and I think a bit shocked. What's the Gotham Network and how did you select Planned Parenthood? I explained that Gotham is
a networking group that donates to charities every year and that I was one of the lucky winners and I've always thought supporting Planned Parenthood to be a worthwhile endeavor. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>A few things that I learned; YOUR contribution makes a difference; your favorite charity COULD benefit, and oh, pay attention at next years Holiday Party. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Again, thanks to all of Gotham and to those who gave to this year's Season of Giving.<br clear="all">
