This week I'd like to blog about an event I attended during class on Thursday. Gabby Eaton and I were invited to Shelter Network's Benefit Breakfast as honored guests for our donation of artwork to the family shelter. We wanted to encourage our class to donate paintings to the shelter in order to let those living there know that there are people who care about them. We also painted a mural that now hangs in the main entrance of the shelter.
Dan Rather spoke at the event and even he, being a talented and experienced reporter, choked up a bit because of his passion for the organization. It is such a worthy cause, and I am so glad I became involved in improving the lives of homeless families struggling to get back on their feet. Seeing the number of people who attended the breakfast, and thus donated to Shelter Network, was inspiring. It's incredible to see so many people (nearing 1000) involved in achieving such a wonderful goal.
