CHARITABLE FUND DONATION 2025

I’m pleased to announce that the Phil Slott Charitable Fund donation for 2025 is going to the Riverflow Community (riverflowcommunity.org) in Vermont. A terrific concept that’s being executed in a wonderful way to support people who have intellectual and developmental disabilities. Phil would be thrilled that this is now a part of his legacy.

Riverflow Community is a therapeutic community, an intentional community where people with and without intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) live together in a setting that encourages independence and interdependence. Riverflow is a rich and joyful lifesharing community, where people develop lifelong relationships, engage in meaningful work, and pursue social and cultural activities within and beyond Riverflow. Riverflow provides stable and supported housing for adults with high support needs.

The goal is to create 5 homes, a farm and the infrastructure for the community including roads, water & septic.

The first therapeutic home is now open, providing housing and support to 4 adults with IDD. Lifesharing means that adults with IDD live and work with their caregivers as a large extended family, sharing the same joys, sorrows, satisfactions, and frustrations that all families do. Services support the overarching goal of helping each individual achieve those things that make for a meaningful life:

● relationships that are built over time and nurtured through proximity, traditions, rituals, and fun
● meaningful work and responsibilities tailored to each person’s interests and capabilities, along with the training and support necessary for vocational success
● access to creative expression through art, music, and theater activities;
● caretaking opportunities for each other, for animals, and for the land.

One of the very valuable “services” provided at Riverflow is a sense of belonging for everyone who is part of the community. Riverflow was developed according to the best practices of intentional living communities for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

NEVER LET ‘EM SEE YOU SWEAT

Phil Slott, author of Never Let ‘Em See You Sweat: A Tranquilizer for Presenters, has written a brilliant book for professionals who have to make presentations. Taken from his 26 years experience in many top advertising firms, Slott’s points are intelligent, clear and thought provoking.

Phil Slott started his career as a junior copywriter, and was so nervous when he had to present that he would have to pray on the floor of his studio apartment before meetings. Years later, as chairman of BBDO London, Slott was adept at holding an audience of hundreds in the palm of his… read more…
