They are partnering with Georgetown Univ Hospital’s Hope for Henry Foundation for a pre-Valentine’s Day “Share the Love” event soliciting games for kids. It’s not easy to start a new AO and I’d encourage you to donate – and join me if you can next week. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/BY68KL7 COT:
– My sister Gretchen’s birthday is tomorrow and she is on my mind. She lost her house in the LA fires recently and going through a bitter divorce. In the last few years, she purchased this home she had been renting for a long time up in the Malibu hills She poured a lot of energy into improvements – and now she’s pouring that same energy into organizing her neighbors to rebuild as a model community for sustainability.
– Thankfully, she was one of the lucky victims who quickly found a rental and she moved in over the weekend. She also has a strong insurance policy, so there’s hope for new memories and family gatherings, for more brilliant Pacific sunsets and neighbors to enjoy them with.
