My grandmother, Memere, has a keen eye; with 9 children,
20 grandchildren, and a handful of great-grandchildren it's
hard to believe she knows the details of each of our busy lives, but
she does. She knows each of our quirks and loves us more for
them.
Memere has a big heart, and gives of herself. I have always been
inspired by her insightful compassion and have aspired to be as
generous and loving as she is.
As a business owner, and a citizen of the world, I feel it's my
responsibility to give back to my community - not just locally, but
globally as well. The kind treatment of others and the generosity
of giving is the glue that holds our society together.
Happy Holidays & Happy New Year,
Jason
