    "Waiting for Medici vs. Fight Club"

    By Jeremy | March 11, 2005

    Check out Rudy's thoughts on resourcefulness. I'm feelin' this, mainly because it so aptly describes our story. Thirteen iner city kids ages 14-22 started Generation Xcel in 1996 with no money, no space, no equipment, and no paid staff. And no Medici (benefactor). Objectively, there was no way we could open a youth center in less than 6 months, but we did. We took a generous helping of heart; mixed in creativity, resourcefulness, initiative, unity, resiliency, and a passion for eXcellence; sprinkled in tons of encouragement from a local church family that rooted for us; placed everything in an oven roast pan with lots of room to (cook and) grow; and the rest is history.loans 100 statedloans commercial 100 constructionaforable company loanacceptance company loanloan south am studentloans 250,000 dollarloans 3-4 motorcycleleicester alliance loans bank Map

      We’re definitely in Fight Club mode right now, but, man, would a Medici be nice!! Seems like we’re constantly paddling upstream. If only we weren’t in rapids!

      Thanks for your note of encouragement. Had a couple of better days, though I probably could have benefitted from church today (three year old with a 104 temp = no church for me)
