Change for Change - Holiday Basket Program 2006

The kids' school has an annual one week "Change for Change" fundraiser to help needy families in the local community, and Stacey is chairing it this year. She has come up with a number of improvements and incentives, and so far participation from students and administration has been very good! We're really proud to see Christopher offering a couple dollars (not just change!) of his own hard-earned money every day! Kelly has not been moved in the same way, but she's definitely contributing as well. Last year it took literally months to count all the change - this year, with Stacey's initiative to get a generous donation from the local Albertson's market, all the change will probably be counted the same day the event ends!!! Hope you have something local you can do to take your mind off yourself and help others out as well.
