Can one family of five, plus two grandparents, combine efforts and commit to one act of service each day, for one year? Paul, Patricia, twins Bianca & Olivia (age 18), Sophia (age 11), and their Nana and Buppa, plan to honor the 10 year anniversary of the loss of my sister with a year dedicated to service. Together, with maybe the help of a relative here or there, we will commit to 365 days of volunteering,contributing or supporting, in appreciation of what we have.... and who we have lost.

Day 288: Supporting a friend's Bat Mitzvah project
One of Sophia's friends at her gymnastics club will soon be celebrating her Bat Mitzvah. Part of the preparation for this rite of passage event is for the candidate to demonstrate a commitment to community service. The project initiated by this particular gymnast was to create a "Leotard Collection Program" to support underprivileged children wishing to pursue dance or gymnastics. She decorated a beautiful box and made a sign welcoming her gymnast friends to consider donating their out-grown leotards to her cause. Today, we were happy to contribute a leotard that Sophia no longer wears...as she is growing "leaps and bounds"!!!
