Perhaps because it’s hard to meet Mary Kate and not like her. She makes a ton effort to get out and meet her neighbors, schedules coffee date after coffee date to sit down one on one and talk about the hopefulness and enthusiasm she has for the place we all live in. She has taken on a big local challenge, enrolled crowds of folks to join her, all with a smile, a lightness and sense of humor that endears long after an encounter.
Mary Kate is a behind-the-scenes kind of gal who keeps things alive and vibrant. She has a brave-heart, supporting us as our first HocoLocal Lady, a woman who personifies our principle by teaching us how to expand local relationships through social technology. A catalyst for great things, which perhaps an event like this can contribute.
And as fabulous as we know Mary Kate is, we know that she doesn’t accomplish her goals with out you, too. Join us in celebrating one point in the tapestry of connections that we all share in common. A Howard County Lady who reminds us it’s not always about what you do, it’s also who you know.
