Also close to my heart is Advocates for the Disabled. I serve on their Advisory Board as well. They provide services for people with disabilities needing help with the Social Security system.
I've lived in the Valley since 1952 (!) and I don't think I've ever seen a storm that knocked down this many trees and light poles. This one is on the NE corner of 15th Avenue & McDowell. The Encanto area was hit hard, as was the North Central area. Both of those neighborhoods feature large, mature trees that really took a beating. Click Here to see my photos of downed trees
Now that football season is officially underway, here's a suggestion for what to do with all those empty beer bottles that are going to start piling up in your house . Kevin Lewis called Sept. 4 "Man Christmas", the First Day of Football!
Clown Day at Rawhide Benefits Ronald McDonald House
Tuesday 08-26-2008 1:06pm MT
Well, we had a great time with all the clowns at Rawhide once again this year! It was the 15th annual Clown Day, this year benefitting the Ronald McDonald House. Thanks to all the folks who donated $1 for a big red clown nose, all of which went to help families who have a child in the hospital and need a place to stay. Since the house opened in 1984, the Ronald McDonald House has served over 26,000 families! There is now a second location at Phoenix Children's Hospital.
