My name is Mark Kaplan and I am a real estate developer here in
Chicago, IL in the United States. I have had the privilege and the
honor to be in the real estate business for over 40 years and to help
thousands of people live in beautiful homes, work in magnificent office
buildings and shop in some very exciting shopping centers. I have
also had the privilege of developing the top of a ski resort and build
ski
runs that have bridges and tunnels going over and under them and create
magnificent homes on the top of the mountain.
When I stood
at the top of this mountain I dreamed of some day utilizing
my time, energy and creativity to help the unfortunate people of the
world
who do not have the opportunities that were afforded to me. I truly
have the desire to make a difference and leave as my legacy that I used
my
talent and resources to benefit the less fortunate.
Through
Club Asteria I have found the ability to reach out to the world,
to make a difference in issues such as hunger, health care, housing and
education that affect the lives of so many people. I am dedicating my
time and efforts to make Club Asteria the voice of the global community,
to
raise revenues to facilitate the philanthropic interests that we have
and
ultimately to make an impact on the lives of many. I feel so
fortunate that at this stage of my life I can dedicate myself to this
very
noble effort.
I urge each and every one of you
who is reading this letter, to please join me in this great effort to
make
a difference in the world, one person, one family at a time. In life,
as we receive, we then have the opportunity to give back. When
it’s all over, hopefully we can each be proud of what we left
behind.
To Club Asteria and all of you who have
joined in our efforts and to all of you who will join in the future, I
thank you and I look forward to meeting you. Collectively we will
make a difference.
Sincerely,
Mark Kaplan
Director
of Strategic Planning and Development
