Local Peeps: Casey, Emily, Abby, Natalie, Jacqueline

Never underestimate the creativity and determination of a group of high school girls! The idea called Seeds For Change, was simple: I will give each group of Key Club students $5.00 directly from my wallet, and their challenge is to make it grow in a fun, legal way within two weeks. All the funds, including my startup donations, will be used to help a recent graduate with expenses as she undergoes treatment for brain cancer. This group of five- Casey, Emily, Abby, Natalie, and Jacqueline wasted no time in putting together a plan to organize a bake sale. Last night I received the news that they had raised over $200! I am proud and impressed by their effort. Let no one tell you that teens are self centered; these girls are an outstanding example of the many altruistic, kind adolescents who live among us. Kudos to all of them.
