DNC Worldwide

Well hello ninjas and ninja slippers! I hope that everybody is doing well amidst this struggling economy, current market conditions, and everything else that is going on the world. For those of you that have been laid off or experienced a recent loss, I have this Eric P. quote to give you that helped me once upon a time, “ninjas always bounce back… dawg.” It’s crazy how a simple statement like that can have such a profound effect on one’s mind. Looking deeper into it, I believe it is the solidarity of our relationships and our individual strength of self that allow us to reach for our goals. To everyone – keep pushing forward to acheive, no matter what the world throws your way!

Major Announcement:

• Jino Manalo, one of our original ninjas, is awaiting word any day now on his admittance to one of four very prestigious graduate programs. Johns Hopkins, Georgetown, Colombia, or Elliot would be lucky to have this ninja amidst their ranks. Jino’s astute understanding of international policy will serve him well one day. Speaking of which, have you ever considered public service Jino? The DNC could use a good Washington man. We’re proud of you Jino!
