Wanted to give you a heads up that Marc Ecko, Tony and I are going to be at the Business Forward's Roundtable on Education Innovation with James Shelton, Assistant Deputy Secretary for Innovation and Improvement, U.S. Department of Education on Friday in DC. We will be with Don Moody (full bio below). Don is the CEO of Word World that is a 3-D animated PBS series and educational toy line, funded in part by the US Department of Education (To date $50 million), encourages preschoolers to become friends with words and get ready to read. We are friends with one of his investors and we introduced Marc to the company. Marc is on the Board. We are looking at this as an investment for ETF too. We look forward to being helpful to Don in his quest for the "Ready To Learn" competitive grant in the amount of $200 million (already got $50 million a few years ago). The meeting is set for Friday, January 8th - 1:00pm - 3:00pm at 1717 Rhode Island Ave. NW, Washington DC 20036 It would be great if you could join us or meet before or afterwards? Are you free? Wayne Wayne D. Kimmel Managing Partner ETF Venture Funds phone: 610.825.0250 | fax: 610.825.0205 e-mail: wayne@etfventurefunds.com| www.etfventurefunds.com <http://www.etfventurefunds.com/> DON MOODY http://www.wordworld.com/presskit/ww_milestones.pdf Founder, CEO, Word World, LLC; Creator, "WordWorld" (www.pbskids.org/wordworld) When "WordWorld" creator Don Moody discovered his wife was pregnant, he decided to pursue life differently, most importantly, living by example and practicing citizenship. Aligning his life with the progression of his child's life, Moody set out to develop an innovative television show that addressed children's literacy and taught valuable life lessons. Based on more than two years of personal research, Moody realized literacy television shows would be much more effective if words were brought to life. He remembers thinking "Wouldn't it be cool if the word 'shark' swam off the screen, or if the word 'ice' actually froze in front of you?" From there, "WordWorld" was born and under Moody's direction, evolved into an innovative children's show that has received praise from children, parents and educators alike. Moody's personal history is woven into the "WordWorld" fabric. Moody grew up with two other siblings raised by his mother in a single parent home. Based on his own childhood experience, Moody understands the importance of introducing effective literacy techniques early to a broad audience of kids. After his mother moved her family to a better neighborhood, a creative community helped raise and positively influence Moody. In fact, many of his childhood friends helped shape "WordWorld's" ensemble cast of WordFriends(tm). Prior to creating "WordWorld," Moody founded Moody Communications, a Manhattan-based advertising agency that serviced a variety of accounts in entertainment, internet technology, telecommunications, fashion and investor relations. Moody handled the branding, advertising, merchandising and licensing business for Jones New York, Verizon and US Banker, as well as for licensees of Disney, Warner Brothers, Lucas Films, "Barbie," "South Park," and "Bananas in Pajamas." At the same time, he independently created, developed and produced "Bobby Blu," an animated children's property for Wal-Mart, to air as a television series on the Fox Family Channel. Moody is the recipient of a Graphics Design Award from the Museum of Modern Art and attended the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan.
