Get To Know Our Team

Shannon and Heather are friends who met in 2019 when Shannon's oldest son was getting married. Heather likes to be creative by decorating cakes and made a cake for her boys' High school Football team. Shannon was looking for someone to create a dessert table for her oldest son's wedding and saw Heather's work through the school, where Shannon graciously gives her time to help make a difference in the school's future and the children.

A beautiful friendship started after just one conversation. Never officially meeting until many conversations later, they knew the friendship they had was special. They knew their values aligned; they both had a passion for change and a desire to do their part in making a positive difference in this world. The beauty of this friendship is that they started to Get to Know each other before meeting for the first time. With Heather not having social media, neither of them knew what each other looked like; usually, that is someone's first impression, but not for these two. These two started the foundation of their friendship on what they had in common. After many conversations, they found several things in common, but they also have many differences. They did not let their differences divide them, and instead, they took it as an opportunity to help make a change in this world by creating, Get to Know Me!

We have a simple message because sometimes, life is messy. We want to show that you can have differences as we do, but it is what we have in common that unites us. We want to break down the differences and create a world where we get to know someone based on these commonalities. Through Get to Know Me and Open Connections Foundation, we will continue to encourage everyone to help make a change by Getting to Know someone. So let's have conversations and break down our differences to truly get to know each other.
