I am sitting on a train riding from Washington DC to Newark airport where I will fly home tonight. I have now been on the road for 9 days and I sure do miss my family! Not to mention sleeping in my own bed. Let me recap what we have been doing to get you up to speed.

We went to NY to meet with investment bankers, VC’s, angel investors and private equity firms. We had the opportunity to pitch CEN to about 7 firms in their offices and then at the “Private Equity Forum 2008″ I presented to a room full of about 60 different firms. All meetings went well and we have already been told by many firms that they are not interested in CEN. But we do have about 6 really solid leads that showed significant interest and now its all about follow up.

We also had a follow up meeting with 3 people at Scholastic Corporation and this meeting did not goes as well as others. They were the 1st company I have ever met with that said “we have no problem getting to children” as they do 125,000 book fairs in schools a year! WOW…in over 100,000 schools. Needless to say if we can get them involved with CEN it would be significant. I asked them to consider making a strategic investment in CEN. They said they do make investments like this, so stay tuned for this potential relationship.

Then I was off to Washington DC to be interviewed my Walter Mossberg at the Wall Street Journal. And I must say I was very excited about this. Think about it…how many people do you know who have a company that even get invited for an interview!

So in I went. He was a tough interview and really had a problem with Miss America that started things off on the wrong note. Well as time went on he warmed up “some” and even said what we are doing with Club TUKI and protecting kids is “VERY admirable”. So I felt it ended on a great note but I have no indication if he will write an article or not. So please pray he does and it will be very favorable!!!

Then I went to meet with the National Center For Missing & Exploited Children and this was incredible. They are the most significant non profit child advocates in the world! What they do to protect our children is ??? indescribable. I just can’t tell you how awe inspiring it was to see and hear what they are doing for kids nationwide.

I met with 4 women who were the top people (only because of Avery Mann or PR person, he set this all up) and the meeting went fantastic! I asked them all what they thought and they all gave it a “I love it” response. SO nothing is done till its done but I feel confident that we will be able to form yet another strategic alliance with one of the top companies in the US.

By the way they have a staff of 28 people that work on their “Internet Safety Initiative” NetSmartz.org. It was very impressive and will help us tremendously over time with content and credibility.

Till next update, have a fantastic day!
