			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Thank you</strong> to all those who were able to join us on Thursday night for the opening celebration to officially launch STACK Coordination!!</p>
<p>Special thanks goes to <a title="Strategic Sustainability Consulting" href="http://www.sustainabilityconsulting.com" target="_blank">Jennifer Woofter and our collaborators at SSC</a> for putting together a great little video with interviews from the evening, and to <a title="Dan Stack, Photographer." href="http://danstack.com/" target="_blank">Dan Stack</a>, our host and photographer for the evening.</p>
<p>I was overwhelmed by the generous outpouring of support and good wishes from the evening &#8211; a true celebration, indeed.  I forgot to make a toast at the end of my little speech, and so I&#8217;ll do that now (albeit with green tea instead of red wine)&#8230;</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s to our collective success!  Cheers!</p>
