I would like to take this opportunity to make a plug for my favorite non-profit organization: Genesis Women's Shelter. If you haven't heard of them you should really look them up - genesisshelter.org. I set up a few clothing drives at SMU when I was there, and now as a working professional I have teamed up with them again through a women's networking group WEBB. They are launching THE CUTEST children's book to celebrate their 25th anniversary serving the Dallas community. The book launch is this Saturday from 12-4 at Northpark mall and Matt and I will be there volunteering. Check it out!
The book has the cutest story. A little boy named Noah came to the shelter with his mom last year. He was the youngest of four and always got the hand-me-down shoes. Each child at the shelter gets a new pair of shoes, school uniform, etc. When Noah put on his shoes he told the Executive Director, "Miss, did you know these shoes are magic". He thought he could run faster, stop easier and jump higher.
100% of the proceeds goes to benefit Genesis - books are available online.
