Concerning getting on with the Police Department, the biggest news is no news. I still hope to get on with the Police Department here in Maricopa. So many factors came into play with the slow down of hiring officers such as the housing bust, economy, a city in its infancy, etc. The lack of city funds puts me perpetually at the top of the list waiting for hire. There was an interesting article written in the New York Times about our city that gives a good idea of where the city stands at the moment. What the article lacks is the positives that will come in the future. Click here to read the article.

In the mean time I am volunteering several hours a week with the department and enjoy it immensely.

Click here to hear the good news about how well our business Mountain View Resourcing is doing.

This August we had enough clients to go full time and then some.  Both of us are working and despite the workload enjoy it very much!  With such a large workload Christian has been working on developing better efficiency in our client relationships.  He also is developing a curriculum in the form of seminars and workshops for non-profits in general.  Developing a sound strategy and program can be daunting to nonprofit directors but is critical to catch the eyes of funders.  We hope to emphasize our consultation and training portion of the business to, first, strengthen our clients program and, second, to streamline our own workload in their fundraising.  It would be a win-win situation and Christian is hard at work putting it all together.  In conjunction with this he is redeveloping our brand and website to be more user-friendly.  Once the foundation is laid, we expect to get very busy this spring as that is a heavy funding season. 

As Christian waits “patiently” to get hired on with the police department this has been an exciting time for us to work together at home.  We are truly thankful to the Lord for providing such great clients and plenty of work in such turbulent times.

We hope to have the new website done by February. www.mtnviewresourcing.com
