MAY!

Hello Everyone! 

I have been super busy the last couple weeks. It seems as if almost everything is coming to a close for the summer. The studio I teach at is having their end of the year concert, the Jazz season is over, and school has finished. I have been volunteering a lot here in the valley. I had the chance to go to Walmart, who are big donors to the Children's Miracle Network, and I was able to sit at a table and try to get more donations for the drive that they do each year. It was fun to be able to meet different people that walked by, I was able to introduce myself and tell them what CMN is and what I was there doing for them. I talked with some kids as they passed by and it was fun to see how interested they were in what I was doing. I even had one little girl, come back and give a donation. I had some time to read about the history of the hospital while I was there and It was fun to see how long ago the hospital came about and the things that people wanted to do to help the children who were in need at that time. To see how far it has come, the difference that it has made, and all the challenges they have over come is really neat. I am a weekly volunteer up at the hospital and I haven't really had time to sit and think how important the Children's Miracle Network is and how critical the hospital is to our community. It saves more children' s lives day in and day out than we could even think of. I think it is important for us all to realize the needs and care that these children need each day. As hard as things are right now with the economy, jobs and money please donate your time and or a little donation to this organization that truly needs your help. It will make the biggest difference in a child's life!
