And finally, congratulations to last week's Ninja Training winner Mark Guncheon who won a $25 Amazon Gift Certificate! Congratulate Mark on his profile page HERE.

Mark Guncheon · April 2019

Wow!. Thanks for the gift certificate for being last week's Ninja Training winner. I'll have to see if Amazon sells Ninja outfits. though my colleagues here at the foundation office may be curious about why I am dressed that way.

I started receiving congratulation emails in response to this announcement and thought it was an elaborate April Fools' prank. Thanks again!

Marilyn Bellemore · April 2019

Congratulations, Mark!

Crystal Bruce · April 2019

I thought you were already a ninja Mark Guncheon‍ - I had to double check!

Jann McKenzie · April 2019

One of my prankster colleagues put pairs of plastic eyeballs all over my office on April Fools Day! There were eyes everywhere, but the ones on my Ninja pin were the best!! I can’t seem to post a photo to show you.
