Our gift has been delivered...

Wednesday morning 8/19/09, I delivered 30 Bernie Siegel books, the educator package (including the "Blue Ribbon Program") and certified check. My visit to the office of the youth services division was very informative and inspirational. I had a chance to see and hear some of what they do in our community. And, believe me they are in charge of some very important areas that impact out community directly. I left feeling very proud of all of you and what we were able to contribute to. They are extremely appreciative of our gifts and will be announcing the additions of these resources to teachers and social program directors.

We have, and will continue to make a difference in Billy Higginson name.

I am working on the article for the Peoples Press to express thanks to those who made our "Billy Bash" possible so make sure you pick up a copy of the September issue.

peace,
Lisa

I am waiting on the delivery of the Educators Package expected the middle of this week. I will post when I bring our gift to the office of the Youth Services Division.
The September Peoples Press will have an article with a list of donators that we need to thank. If anyone noticed an omission on the memorial program list, please bring it to my attention....one of the hardest parts of this kind of event planning thing is trying not to forget to thank everyone properly! There is printed list of this report available ... anyone who would like one can e-mail me at wnhhw@sbcglobal.net
peace,
Lisa
