What a great cause. If I lived there, I'd be front and center at the event. Best of luck!
What a great cause! I'm not sure if I've heard of it from you or elsewhere, but it sounds like they do wonderful work.
Good luck at the event!
Wendy, Good for you for helping to improve the world and making a difference. It's so true that all our little bits add up to a lot. Wish I could be there to join in the fun!
Angie, Melanie, Debbie--I wish you all could come and join me in the jumpy castle! Thanks for your well wishes.
Great work, both you and the organization! Best next week. It sounds like a great time, and I wish we were close enough to come.
Great cause and great work, Wendy. Wish I could bring my girls to Playland. Sounds like a lot of fun!
Wendy, you are truly special. Volunteering your time to help others is admirable.
great boosting for LHNH! I worked at the Women's Shelter for almost 5 years when LHNH began its management! Always a good agency to support what with its broad array of programs. So many great programs and activities! I did a weekly, Friday am walk from the shelter to the CP zoo for the longest... what a time!
I couldnt afford to live in NYC though on social work pay. So I moved to Newark NJ. 2 to 2 1/2 hour each way commutes then exhausted me... so
but I still chat with former LHNH people and blessed to have had my time at LHNH!
thanks much again for your boosting!!!
I'm glad you stopped by! I'm a new-ish board member at LHNH and I've been involved with fundraising there for a number of years. It really is a great organization.
