Hi John - 

I have a quick question and hope you can help me get to the right place or
right person!

One of my clients is Friendly House, the settlement house/community service
agency in Worcester, MA.  Gordon Hargrove, their Executive Director, is
celebrating 50 years at Friendly House and 47 as CEO, at a large community
dinner in late June. I am on the committee working on the celebration and
plan to travel up to attend the dinner.  

I just learned that several members of the Committee drafted a letter to the
President with a very specific request.  Because the President will be in
Worcester the week before the dinner to deliver the commencement speech at
Worcester Tech, they are asking if there is a possibility to record a brief
video with him while there that could be used as part of the tribute at the
dinner.

You know that just about the only place in my life I am very conservative is
in asking my friends like you and Jeanne for favors and connections.  I am
pushing this boundary because my client and friend Gordon is a very special
human being who does God's work in ways that are humbling and powerful.
What I hope you can give me is the connection I need so that the Committee
can get the letter to the best person in the system who will try and make
turning the video request into a reality.  Jim McGovern is our usual local
resource and go-to-guy, but I am thinking that you may have a more direct
connection. 

Thanks so much!
Cath
