An Update from Our Mover and Shaker, Melody Fader!

We have known Melody longer than the vast majority of anyone covered on Whom You Know, and this she is a talent you should be familiar with! Here she is as a Mover and Shaker:

She tells us:

My big project for the summer has been to make a new, all-Chopin CD. Its been going quite well, so far. I recorded the music at the beginning of August, and I hope to have the editing done by the end of September so that I can get to work on producing it and getting it ready for release, both physically, and for download. In order to do all this, I created a kickstarter page to raise funds to make this project happen. So far, I have gotten so much generous support from all sorts of people. Its very gratifying. But in order to get the $3,500 which I proposed, I need to reach that goal by September 22. I’m halfway through the 40 days that I allotted myself, and over 70% to the goal, which is amazing! But I still have almost $1,000 to raise. I appreciate all of you who have pledged your support so far. Its amazing how all the little bits really do add up, so please give something if you can, or forward the information onto others who might be interested in helping. Here is the link:

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
