Hey Everybody! I have been staying busy this year so far |

Think you need a lot of money to help your community or make a difference in someone's life? Well, check out the new page on my site called "Love Locks!"
My 8 year old neice Mackenzie wanted to do something to help other kids. Since she is short on cash as a third grader, when she heard about "Locks of Love" she knew what she wanted to do.  So, she has started a Locks of Love club at her school and is working hard to recruit as many of her friends as classmates as possible to commit to donating their hair in the spring at the local Relay For Life event in March. Don't know what Locks of Love is all about? Check out her page and find out!  If a little girl can recognize the need and importance of helping others, surely the rest of us can find ways to help as well. Let us know what ways you have found to give back to your communities! Happy fall everyone! |
