Hi, I am excited to share that I have been selected to participate in an entrepreneurial experience of a lifetime- a one-week boot camp for start-ups that is also a reality tv competition! The show is called "The Blox", a division of BetaBlox. (Check out their Facebook page to learn more.). As my new business, The REC Center, celebrates one year of serving the community, I am confident that this learning experience is going to ensure that I grow and develop The REC into a successful business.

So, why am I raising funds? There is a cost to participate and travel expenses to Oklahoma where the contest is held. The participation cost is $4,000, and $500 will help to cover travel and funding fees.

Can you help? I am counting on my friends, family, and community to come together in support of my endeavors. No gift is too small!

I am also looking for one or two angel investors for The REC Center. If that is something you or someone you know may be interested in, I would love an opportunity to speak with you.

Thank you,

Robyn Messerly
