Median Fundraising Nonprofit Launch Party - Thursday May 30th; 3-7pm
I am so excited and feel privileged to invite you to the Median Fundraising Launch Party coming this May.
Since I was a child I've always witnessed the differences between people whether their culture, socioeconomic background or simply the language they speak. And while noticing the differences I've also been able to see the care and generosity in each and everyone of them. It's amazing how different and yet the same everyone can be. Humanity is so beautiful.
It's been a long process to try and weave what I feel compelled is my life mission, to help others, into a career. It has been such a privilege, although challenging, to get Median conceived and incorporated.
I wish to invite you, your friends and any organization looking for support to come celebrate and learn more about Median Fundraising.
The launch party will be held at the Pint Vancouver on Thursday, May 30th at 3-7pm. Tickets will be $15 and come with a beer & burger.
Please contact me for more event information or for possible event sponsorship opportunity.
In sincere gratitude,
Maria Bernardo

Company Community
Besides your home the next place you occupy the most is your work place. I can't stress how important a positive work environment can be for the average employee. While income and position rank on top of employment decisions a good work place is also crucial.
A good work place is usually one where your own values match your company's values. It is also very attractive when your company participates in community events.
Currently, aside from MEDIAN, I work at Urban Impact - a commercial recycling company. It started as a UBC seed project some twenty years ago by Nicole Stefenelli and it is now a successful full functioning recycling company. Its mission is other than just gaining profits but one to ultimately create social good for the environment through providing services and education. It doesn't end there. In addition to the social service UI provides through recycling, it also supports local charities with a charity program but will occasionally will host/attend fundraising events. Last year, Urban Impact donated its Shred Day proceeds to Pancreatic Cancer Canada, the Philippine Red Cross & the Canadian Breast Cancer Society just to name a few. It truly is such a blessing to be fortunate enough to work for a company with such a great environment.
I can truly say that these are the key factors to employee work satisfaction. If you are searching for a great cause for your company to be involved in the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Vancouver is now accepting registration for their Light the Night Walk - a fundraiser for blood cancers. There is nothing better than participating in a good cause to create your company's community.

INCORPORATED!!
There are only a few times in life when crying for joy seems to occur; in my mind it is when you marry the love of your life and when you give birth and hold that life you brought into the world. I have yet to be fortunate enough to experience those milestones BUT I realize that crying for joy also happens once you've succeeded at something you've worked so hard for.
I cried for joy once I opened MEDIAN's certificate of incorporation. I was jumping and crying for five whole minutes! It was one of the greatest feelings I've had in a long time.
Thank you to everyone for all your support, thoughts & prayers. To the board directors for their never ending love and our graphic designer who has done such an amazing job in conveying MEDIAN into graphics.
With sincere gratitude,
Maria Bernardo
