Thanking you straight from the heart

On Monday I posted about being intentional about showing gratitude through blogging. It really doesn’t take too much effort to say thank you… not nearly as much as in this ad.

With thanks to Brian at Coverville!

This one I just think is cool… she makes cheeseboards out of old bottles. I have a kiln that was given to me, by a really nice lady. How long has it been sitting in my garage, not fired once? I actually was excited about accepting it for the express purpose of learning how to work with fused glass, not ceramics. This would be a great project for me to start with!

Communities Helping Families Through Kids Cafe

Kids Cafe is a program that provides after school meals for children from low-income families. It’s a partnership between local food banks and area partners. Feeding America, the organization that helps many local/regional food banks, provides the basic framework for locals to start their own Kids Cafes. Here’s a great video from Austin via Texans Against Hunger.

I’ve never been to North Carolina, but am proud to support these schools

Last fall my company (Step by Step Fundraising) offered a grant program to fund educational projects at K-12 schools. Over 300 schools applied and with the help of Liz, Jim and my friend Meredith we narrowed it down to finalists then 3 winners and 5 honorable mentions. You can see the whole list here.

Coincidentally two of the schools that were awarded come from North Carolina. Four of the honorable mentions come from California. I didn’t even realize this until typing up the list on the final winners announcement. With the state of the California economy I don’t suppose it’s surprising. But we got applications from just about very state in the union.

In North Carolina, “Oklahoma or Arizona, what does it matter” all children should get access to a quality education!
