Thanks to one of your fellow One for All users, I have some cool news to report from our credit union CEO/President, Leslie Ellis. Check it out!

Poppy’s message:
I am a parent and employee of Enep'ut Children's Center in Fairbanks. Enep'ut has been in operation since the early 1970's and has served many families as a trusted and safe child care facility. Currently Enep'ut is the last private non-profit childcare left in our community and is operating on minimal revenue. Our center could use the title as The One. With quickly aging equipment and building costs on the rise a little community spirit could go a long way in reviving this cherished treasure at the corner [of] two Fairbanks Streets. Currently Enep'ut serves over 40 children and houses over 10 staff members who work hard everyday. Help us grow stronger, enrich more families lives in our community and be The One!
 
I fielded Poppy’s message to Leslie because our awesome CEO/President has been working for over a year with Lenetta Colbert from Open Arms and others in Fairbanks to create a "child care consortium." Here's what she had to say:

The child care consortium we're working on would enable a number of businesses to group together and fund a facility that would provide affordable child care in Fairbanks. I agree that there is a shortage, and we are attempting to work with UAF and others in the Fairbanks community to find a solution.  Poppy, would you be interested in joining our group? –Leslie

Poppy - I can put you in touch with Leslie and her contacts if you're interested. Let me know! Anyone else want to help?
