“I made excellent connections for my son at the matchmaker for him to either get a summer internship or a part-job in his chosen college study of business marketing/finance while he is still in school. I even got to shake the hand of someone that I have been a fan of for many years…Mr. Austin Carr. As I said to Mr. Carr, his mantra, “get that weak stuff out of here,” he and I both got a great laugh. CAAO put on a wonderful event! I can’t wait until the next one! Job very well done, and I am so proud to be a CAAO’s BESTT donor.” - Johnette Jernigan
