Each year a cause is chosen to inspire one of the collections designed by the students in the Fashion Design classes. This year the cause was Autism Awareness. The students designed garments inspired by the multicolored puzzle piece. I was honored to be invited to speak about Autism Awareness and PeerPals.org. The show was a huge success and the school made a $500 donation to PeerPals.org! A special thank you to Mrs. McLaughlin & Mrs. Levy for making me feel so welcome. 2012-05-05T21:13:33+00:00 http://peerpals.org/blog/entry/save_the_date_to_celebrate/ http://peerpals.org/blog/entry/save_the_date_to_celebrate/#When:16:19:28Z It's never too early to mark your calendar for something fun...the 3rd Annual Planting Seeds of Community Dinner will be held on Thursday, April 11, 2013!

What a night! Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone that helped make the 2nd Annual Planting Seeds of Community Dinner such a success. Special thanks to our honorees, Gerry & Lynn Polizzi for their support for our mission and the evening. Once again Cathy Welsh, our dinner chairperson, did an amazing job putting together a fun night and a fabulous raffle. Our first ever Volunteer of the Year Award was given out this year to two very special folks...Denise Kleberg & Sandy Mazer. The evening came together because of the hard work of so many friends, volunteers and donors...thank you! 2012-04-07T01:50:21+00:00 http://peerpals.org/blog/entry/3_more_days/ http://peerpals.org/blog/entry/3_more_days/#When:01:01:00Z So excited for the 2nd Annual Planting Seeds of Community Dinner on Thursday, March 29, 2012!
