[Fredslist] OUTSTANDING LI MEETING THIS AM

[odeyraviv at aol.com]

Dear Gothamites,


Long Island Gotham had an overflow crowd of close to forty people, including many first timers, this morning at Plainview's Holiday Inn.
We were fortunate to have three students from the Mercy College Business Honors Program (Developed and Led by Gotham's own Victoria Roberts Drogin).
The students including a son of Gotham (Paul Napolitano's-Derek) described their top flight Mercy College program (loaded with fortune 500 opportunities) and focused on their internship with Luv Michael.


Luv Michael is a unique business located in Long Island City.  The founder, a young man with autism and a talent for cooking, developed a business selling Organic
Granola.  The other special factor is that Luv Michael hires and utilizes volunteers from the autism community as workers.  Workers with autism often have the skill set
that make them excellent workers!  With the extra push of the interns from Mercy, the business has grown and the granola is already sold in many stores including ten Starbucks in Queens as
well as online. 


We learned that people with autism should be thought of as potential successful workers and that the Mercy College Business Honors Program is a top-flight destination for students
with business on their brains. (Check into Mercy's Summer Leadership Program for rising Juniors in High School, too.)


Our group was riveted by the presentation and knocked out by the confidence and communication skills of the students as they deftly answered a wide range of questions about Mercy and Luv Michael.


Check out LuvMichael.com to see how you can order the wonderful granola for home or work.


Best to all,
Odey
