Volunteer in New Orleans

Hello Friends,

There is a great opportunity to help out the people of New Orleans, who have still not been able to rebuild since Hurricane Katrina hit almost 5 years ago. So much work still needs to be done. In particular, the Lower 9th Ward. If you are interested in helping out Monday, June 7 - Wednesday, June 9, please feel free to contact me as soon as possible. 

Hotel rooms are $79 per evening at the Iberville Suites, breakfast included. I attached a video below so you can see just how much work still needs to be completed. Please come and help!!!

Books Rock!!!!!!!!

Barnes & Noble: The Giving Tree is a Success

This is the 10th year I've worked with UCF's Barnes & Noble Bookstore to collect books throughout the holiday season for charity.

I just received 8 huge boxes of books that I will distribute to after school programs for children in underserved areas, community organizations, and shelters located in the Orlando community.

It's exciting to give a child a brand new book of their very own, or provide a community program or school with books to help tutor in after school programs. You never know when a child will pick up that one book that will change their life. The book that starts their lifelong love for reading. I remember the first book that changed my life. It made me want to read everyday, and become a writer. 

I know that these books will bring joy so many children, and I want to thank all the people who made donations to the the Giving Tree.

Helping the Haitian Community in their time of need.

First, I want to send my prayers to all of the people in Haiti who were affected by the recent earthquake. 

I am lucky that I've been working at the National Consortium for Academics and Sports (NCAS) for the last 16+ years. The leaders at the NCAS have already put together a plan to help with the current rescue efforts, and are already planning ahead to actively assist with the rebuilding effort.

Currently, the NCAS along with the DeVos Sport Business Management Program at the University of Central Florida, have donated over 21 weeks of service to New Orleans and have raised over $400,000 to help in the wake of Katrina. We hope we can do as much to help out in Haiti.

Please let me know if you need any assistance or ideas on how you can help out too.
