My wife, Tami, is the founder of a non-profit organization to benefit the developmentally disabled. She opened a thrift store 2 years ago in downtown Richmond IN. She has helped many young adults and the local high school to train these young adults so that they can find jobs once they leave high school and others that need a place to develop their skills and possibly move on to be employed by other businesses.
After 2 years at her present location she is moving to a larger facility. The new store will be open on September 20th 2011 at 1813 National Road West in Richmond.
She talked about doing this for years, and one day I told her she should just do it. I said do it within 3 years or forget about it. It took her about a 1 1/2 years to have everything in place and she did it, and now after just 2 years she has made the next important step. We have spent the last 4 days cleaning and painting the new location and hope to have most of it wrapped up by the end of this week and then start the move. I am very proud of my wife and think her new location will be very successful. Not many people have done what she has done, she had a dream and has made it reality.
