Last Thursday evening Finance Fund had a “conversation,” which by itself is not a reason for attention and certainly not for much celebration. However, Thursday’s Annual Reception was different. It was special because it marked the 20th time we have come together.
Attendees enjoy the Finance Fund annual reception May 7.
Something about longevity peaks curiosity. Have you been here long? How old are you? That looks like a new dress? Worked here long? This current curiosity stems from our recent propensity for immediate consumption - because there was a point in time that longevity meant endurance – and endurance meant survival.
In our 22 years of stamina we have come together 20 times to talk and celebrate the idea that is Finance Fund. The idea is that anyone no matter what education, race, economic, or social status has the right to basic access to opportunity. This year’s event was stellar in its essence a good mix of people, good food and drink, and great conversation.
We talk about anything and everything. About what we’ve done, what we’re doing, and what we will do. We talk about friends here and departed, times past and remembered, and future plans and aspirations. We did what we have come to do so well and that is join in the conversation. From conversation grows familiarity and familiarity accumulates knowledge and knowledge precipitates trust. Thursday night was a testimony to this concept. It’s always better to work with someone you trust and that is a reason to celebrate.
