www.SOFII.org is something I think any non-profit may want to explore for fundraising ideas... like Ben Franklin;-)

School Story:

I remember Dave Morgan bluffing his way into making WAHS do "George M." in 1971. He, Mr. Carstens, Mr. Herbrandson, Mr. Hogan & our English teachers are what started my interest in performing, writing and education.

Esther... Her music was smooth, her energy pervasive, her goodness continuing, her kindness heart-felt.
Blessings on you, dear Esther.

Dan! SquareOne Village is a fascinating idea. I leave in Seattle now, and I see similar efforts but also know we need more of this kind of thinking. I congratulate and THANK you for this work. My main work can be found at www.Ben-Franklin.org. Keep in mind that I do fundraisers for groups like yours:-) Bless you and your work, GregRobin (used to be just Greg) Smith

What a legacy of giving. A gentle soul whose love and care lives on in many, many others.

I am glad we were friends, and know his memory is a blessing.

Here are a couple of videos of some recent vids (NB, the Ridgefield Faire was delayed a year, but the Act I do for Ren Faires is still accurate.)
