Normal to Noble

Part memoir, part manual, Normal to Noble is one normal, "middle-of-the-road" guy's journey to Greatness Through Giving. Al Midgett, founder of the successful non-profit known as The Noblemen, recounts the early and adult-era influences that inspired him to start an organization dedicated to philanthropy... and fun! The Virginia Beach-based organization has grown by leaps and bounds since its founding (as the Robin Hoods of Virginia Beach in 1995). Now a powerhouse of a non-profit, it is expanding throughout the region with ambitious plans "farther a-field." So whether you're a Noblemen, NobleTeens, NobleWomen - or even NoblePets! - member - or simply a sidelines supporter or curious admirer-come learn what makes The Noblemen tick. If you are involved with your own non-profit, there are lessons here which may help jump-start or fuel your own organization's success. Share the stories, the laughter, and the moving moments contained in these pages - and connect with the nobility in yourself and your community.
