Focus, Benetton, EnTRIPreneur, Wixifi, Hype, Reborn, Zoe & Alice! [May 21-27, 2016]

Hello, Hello!

Last night some Rodinhooders pinged me to check if “aal izz well”, for I didn’t send out the Friday Newsletter! UnAsha indeed! Like many other Ning sites, we had some tech issues and so I just couldn’t :(. We’ve been on Ning since Nov. 2010 and it has served us well for 5 years. But now, it’s time to move on. We’ll be migrating soon to ensure you have a better, mobile friendly TRH. Thank you for your patience, please bear with us, till this happens smoothly :).

Ending with my fav Lewis Carroll quote:

“One of the deep secrets of life is that all that is really worth the doing, is what we do for others.”
