Mid-May Checkup
Spending time counting the days to Shavuot got you excited? Me too! With my wife only days away from her due date of our second child, this upcoming holiday will surely have new meaning for us.
This update will share some of what Causil is working on, upcoming events in Chicago and New York and things we are reading and seeing.
Client Work
I want to thank a few of our amazing clients this month who have allowed us to work with them on thier cutting edge projects.
- The AVI CHAI Foundation, who will be sending ten lucky Jewish Day School administrators to the International Society for Technology in Education Conference [ISTE] in Philadelphia June 26-29.
- Melvin J Berman Hebrew Academy, who has just successfully purchased thier building from the county after winning a very public and conterovercial county vote by uniting the entire Greater Washington Jewish community to lobby in thier favor.

What I’m Reading
I try to spend some time every day reading something new. It reenergized my creative juices and always gives me what to think about. Here are a couple articles I’ve really enjoyed:
- Michael Hyatt, Chairman of Thomas Nelson Publishers, the largest Christian publishing company in the world, writes on his blog about the “Benefits of Playing Full Out.” This method for getting the most out of events is apprapo to what we do at Causil. I hope we can get Michael to join us at an upcoming event.
- On OnStartups, a treasure trove of valuable information on business, management and everything startup related, Fan Bi, the Founder of Blank Label Group writes a terrific post, “Tips For Getting Started For The Non-Technical Web Entrepreneur.”
Until next time! Dave Weinberg CEO, Causil dave@causil.com
