Holiday Hiatus

by Caleb on December 21, 2009

The Exceptional Man, Chicago is going on holiday hiatus

I’ll be spending the next two weeks doing two things: spending time with family and getting ready for the launch of Save the Cups on January 1.

In the meantime, if you’re looking for a place to give this holiday season, I suggest you check out the Heartland Alliance. Fantastic organization that could really use your help. Or check out some of the other places I listed back in September.

Happy Holidays from me to you. See you in January.
