Boys and Girls Clubs of MetroWest tapped Inside Out Communications’ VP of Client Services, Maria L. Stearns, to sit on their Board of Directors.

The Boys & Girls Clubs offer children in our region a safe and fun place to grow. In every community, an increasing number of boys and girls are left to find their own recreation and companionship in the streets, with no adult care or supervision. Young people need to know that someone cares about them. Boys & Girls Clubs offer that and more. Club programs and services promote and enhance the development of boys and girls by instilling a sense of competence, usefulness, belonging and influence.

Maria is a strong and committed believer in the Clubs’ work; she has been part of their Resource Development and Marketing committees for two years, contributing strategic and creative thinking to their fundraising projects. According to Maria, getting a phone call from the Board’s Chair, Patricia L. Davidson, to ask her whether she’d consider sitting on the Board was exciting and rewarding.

Now more than ever Inside Out Communications will be proud to continue supporting the Clubs’ work!

I’m all shook up.

Glancing through the pages of the April 2015 Control Design  my eyes caught a quote that stopped me – “If you’re sleeping through the night, you have not borrowed enough money.” Wow. I loved it. Searching the article I found the person being interviewed and quoted was Brian Beaulieu, author of Prosperity in the Age of Decline. I’ve got to read that. In the meantime, here’s another Beaulieu quote; advising people to make sure that their children learn three languages, he says, “First, make sure they learn to speak proper English. Second, they should learn French, because it’s the language of Africa, a rising continent. And the third language is math.” Ouch. I was ok until that.
