Good evening, Hope -

My sincerest wishes that this email finds you well. After Mr. Worthington III's post on the journals yesterday and his mention of wanting to pursue some more philanthropic opportunities, I contacted several people in District-X through the Community Centre. I'm sure you remember most of them, but in particular I spoke with Francine McBride, the Nurse Practitioner who works out of the Centre every Friday evening and Saturday morning. Jeanie and I have discussed the need for a clinic, at the very least, in the District, if not a proper medical facility for the time being.

She's agreed to put together a business proposal for a clinic. She's reaching out to other friends she has in the medical community for input and I believe she's seeking advice from various qualified parties regarding the requirements for certification as well as maintenance of a clinic. I suggested specifically that she speak with Jean, since she's got more medical training than anyone else I know without having an ego the size of the Atlantic.

I touched base with Sooraya about educational supplies, since I know she's quite keen on ensuring there are enough supplies for students who can't attend regular schools for various powers-related reasons. And Kyle, of course, given his experience. Or well, I will touch base with him once he's back from his sabbatical.

During the discussion with Mr. Worthington III, I also mentioned setting up a scholarship to assist underprivileged students in the District who want to pursue higher education. I think it would be wonderful to also look into arranging something of a vocational school as well, but I haven't heard back from anyone I feel might be qualified to discuss or oversee such a project.

All of which is, of course, to say that if Mr. Worthington III is sincere in his desire to lend a helping hand to mutants in need, we have many, many options. Your input in the feasibility of this venture, particularly with regard to your employer's true intentions, would be most invaluable. Also, it's been ages since we got together to have tea, so I thought if you'd like to discuss things in person, we might meet at some point in the next few days - at your convenience, of course.

Regards,
Terry

Dear Terry,

Thank you for reaching out to me. I saw the journal post and am aware of Mr. Worthington's intentions. The various projects you mention above are all more than worthy of support.

First, let me reassure you that Mr. Worthington's desires to support mutants are in need are indeed sincere. His ways of trying to do so however, are somewhat unique.

I mostly serve as Mr. Worthington's publicist, but I will immediately reach out to the relevant members of his staff. These projects should be supported in a sustainable way and not just some funds on a whim.

With kind regards,
Hope

Hope,

Thank you so much! I thought it odd that Worthington told me to check with you because you knew everything about everything or something along those lines. I've kept several of your cards in my purse, since your grand opening, and I've sent several people your way. I do hope Worthington's surprise arrival hasn't put wrinkles in your schedule.

Please pass my contact information along to the respective members of Worthington's staff. I'm available 8-5, Mon-Fri, with an hour lunch I typically take at noon.

Best,
Terry

Dear Terry,

I am happy to be of assistance. I estimate someone will be in touch before the end of the week. If possible, keep me in the loop though. I suspect there will be other occasions where I might be of assistance.

I would like to request your assistance in another matter. My workload, especially with Mr. Worthington's return, has grown to a level that I am looking for admin support. More specifically, someone to handle bookkeeping and someone for more general admin support. Since both would be able to work remotely, I was hoping to hire suitable candidates from DX. Would you have any recommendations for me?

Thanking in advance,
Hope
