Our favorite non-profit is the Campaign to Build the Greenest School in America. This mission, under the Charlottesville Waldorf Foundation, is happening right here in Charlottesville, a City now ranked the 2nd Greenest City in America. Pretty cool. At Finn & Thatcher we agree that this campaign will create a school building that will nurture its students and contribute to the local environment and community while also acting as a symbol that inspires more Green building and the belief that by setting meaningful visions, and working together, we can create a harmonious world that strives toward our highest ideals.

Let us tell you about our Web guy, Tony Alexander. Everyone needs a hero, and Tony is ours. At age 23, a healthy, happy Tony was riding home from work with some buddies who were driving a little too fast. They ended up in a wreck that left Tony a paraplegic. Not one to wallow or let immobility hold him back, Tony finished his education, started a company, and now runs a retail computer service and a Web design and development firm in the Charlottesville area. His personal courage and perseverance are matched by his knowledge and dedication to professionalism. He took the Finn & Thatcher vision and brought it to life on the Web, and will continue hosting and improving our site as we go forward. Knowing him, seeing his example, inspires us to be our best, to get out there and get it done. Check out his thriving (and very busy) business at http://www.adisolutions.net/home.htm.
