OPPORTUNITIES

• From Pat at Girls Gotta Run: Barefoot Books of Reston, Va., is donating * 100% of the proceeds* of all online sales until the end of October to GGRF. Books are such great gifts for any occasion, perhaps especially for children. And Barefoot Books has a truly wonderful selection.. Top that off with the fact that at virtually no additional cost, you can help us provide support for the hard working girls on our partner teams in Ethiopia and...... how can you go wrong? So, if you have any beloved children in your life, please take a moment before you forget to check out the Barefoot Books selection and place an order. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

  THE APRON SHOW (A TOURING EXHIBITION)
  This exhibition will start in Hancock, MI. It will travel to St. Louis, MO and Denver, CO - spending a month on display in each city.
  Aprons are protective garments worn to keep clothing clean. Before the 1960’s, aprons were very popular for women to keep their “delicate” clothing from getting soiled. Aprons are also associated with women because of their “domestic, homemaker responsibilities”.
