Last month I wrote about Darla’s interview with the editor of one of our regional newspapers. The paper was published a couple weeks ago, and we were thrilled to see a full-page color article devoted entirely to one little social entrepreneur and her neighborhood book project. I think it’s commendable in this day and age that a news organization would choose to feature with such prominence good news about youth. There is so much out there, if only we’re primed to see it.
The school year is coming to a close, but Darla plans to start up her weekly gatherings again in the fall, so she’ll be preparing next year’s activities this summer. She’s very appreciative to those of you who have used her Amazon search box for your online shopping. You’ve kept her stocked with craft supplies and participant incentives all year long!
We have more related exciting news to share, but have to wait until next month – stay tuned!
