[Fredslist] Gotham Profile-Gail Koelln

[David Stein]

Not enough good things can be said about Gail Koelln.

Gail and I have worked together for 10 years and I have seen her raise  
a lot of money for the arts.  I have also watched her passion for the  
environment become her dream. If her business is slow, now is the time  
to stand behind our fellow Gothamite.  Please tell all the boards of  
directors and executive directors at not for profits about Gail - she  
will not disappoint.

Happy Networking
