Loved presenting with my colleagues from the Humane Society of Missouri today at The Association for Animal Welfare's annual conference. It's hard to believe we've been partnering with the HSMO for nearly 30 years. Conference branding and awards by the 501 team!

Four months post-tornado…and while our office space decisions are still in flux…our team celebrated being together last night at the Humane Society of Missouri Glow in the Park. If you’ve never experienced the Balloon Glow in Forest Park, it’s a must-do in STL! Honored to sponsor this spectacular event. Sue/Nate, Rene/Jim, Marc, and Shelley…you were missed! Patty/Jonathan & Sarah/Mike…thanks for joining us!

STL Tornado Update...
So thankful for our team at 501 for their time and muscle and dedication after a category EF3 tornado ripped through STL a week ago. Our office roof blew off and the back glass door shattered leaving the building vulnerable to the thunderstorm that followed (yes...they tarped the holes...no they did not hold). We've spent the last few days moving out the salvageable items and saying goodbye to the stinky, soggy, ones. The walls and floors were soaked along with almost anything that wasn’t covered. The building has been tagged as uninhabitable by the city. BUT...we are all okay, and the work for our clients has continued.

Special thanks to Heather and Patty for bringing lunch and supplies and getting dirty with us, and to everyone who offered to help cleanup. Many of our neighbors, especially north of us, are in much worse shape. Please consider volunteering or donating. More information at https://www.stlouis-mo.gov/tornado/index.cfm

For the next bit – while we wait to see what happens to our building repairs – we will be working out of the amazing offices of Twain Financial Partners. Fun Fact: Jassen Johnson designed and developed both 501’s and Twain’s offices.

Sharing some of our photos and a link to a recent article about the exhibit. Thanks Marla Felton and Sue Lichtstein Spiegel for almost a decade of meaningful work and friendship!

Love love love seeing this news coverage on the We Are White Plains exhibit.

The mission of Common Circles is to create interactive experiences that increase empathy, decrease bias and antisemitism, and get people thinking about how they treat one another.

They don't mention 501 by name, but the CDC is talking about our work and a project we named!

Thanks Amy Waterman and Explore Transplant for so many years of partnership!

Despite the heat in Houston, there was a large and joyous group of neighbors, friends and families dancing around the park’s outdoor stage as the University of Houston’s mariachi ensemble, the Mariachi Pumas, performed a tribute to the music of pop star Selena. I was excited to join the crowd an...

Excited to be at The Association for Animal Welfare Advancement fall conference in New Orleans. It never gets old seeing our branding work come to life as giant signage and spending time with animal welfare folks! Thanks Katherine Shenar for 26 years of partnership!
