Friday, October 15, 2010 at 12:00PM Anyone who reads this blog regularly knows that I am deeply rooted with a few non-profit organizations (Junior Service League of Wenatchee, Festival of Trees, and the Wenatchee Downtown Association).

Wednesday, October 13, 2010 at 4:06AM Last year I was looking for story ideas on the Make A Difference Day. I stumbled onto this site. I try to keep things local but also understand that we are a super tech savvy group here at MyFamilyCompass.com. So reaching to the internet to Make A Difference sure helps those of us with crazy busy schedules.
Kids Can Make Difference . It actually has two parts - purchase a book (part 1 - Literacy) and get a tree (Part 2 - Be Green). Each year in October a new author is choosen so check to see what books are available for the 2010 Make A Difference Day!
If you find more wonderful sites contributing to helping parents build the citizens of the future, pass it along to me. I will get it out there as soon as possible.
