SFARI Fundraiser Fantastic!

Went to the Engineers Without Borders fundraiser on Thursday, October 18th. It was fantastic! DJ Jeremiah was brilliant with his drummers and trumpeteer. The event he's throwing at the Independent in February 2008, on behalf of WAH is going to be "off the hook!" Can't wait!

At any rate, the food was amazing. The work the group is doing was great to hear about. They've done some interesting projects in Tanzania and Haiti.

Two WAH board members attended and met some of the members and learned a bit about what they're doing in the world. Here is the invite...

A Book

Yesterday, I happened to be in a bookstore waiting to meet with a friend when I came across this book. A compendium drawing together stories and essays of bravery and leadership, although I haven't read it, it looks fabulous... Check it out.

Check out the website, too...
