As I write this the temperature is a balmy 38 degrees. One of the first warnings of things to come. Picture my frown. But things are warm and cozy at Lorraine Gregory. A lot of exciting, new and ongoing projects keep us busy and burning lots of energy.

Writer and Director Candice Cain and her team were at the LG Studios filming segments for Joy & Hope, a TV movie to be distributed nationwide in 2020. We had the pleasure of watching the talented actors Vivica A. Fox and Anthony Rogers nail their scenes. Lorraine Gregory Communications looks forward to watching this Christmas movie when it is released!

Many of you know I was an NYCPD Detective, and very concerned about the epidemic of suicides – many of which are PTSD related, in the law enforcement, military, and first responder communities. In the hope of saving #JustOne, I am gathering subject matter experts to open a discussion and create an informational project designed to identify the causes, outline ways to help prevent suicides and provide resources to those suffering from PTSD. If you would like to participate, please reach out to me. Stand by for more information.

We welcome Johnny Stack to our creative staff. He brings years of corporate design experience as well as his own artistry to our growing team. The team is laboring very hard to evolve the Lorraine Gregory brand and align it with our vision and growth. It is an all hands-on deck process that is bringing out the best among our staff.

We were happy to award two tickets to the Marty Lyons Foundation Lords of 52nd Street concert at the Tilles Center. Congratulations to Sondra C; the winner of our online contest!

In a different development, not to be minimized, I have published two articles on Forbes.com. It is an honor to be associated with such a great brand.

And lastly, at Lorraine Gregory we are very thankful for all of you. We wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving surrounded by family, friends and loved ones.
