I'm excited to share my latest project... a very personal one, since anyone who knows me/or has followed me for a minute knows, I care deeply about the actions we each take as individuals & encouraging others to get involved...
No better example then the Charity Toy Shop Event we did in December!!
Thanks to Marc Wiercioch and Gareth Fient for their help in creating this film!

Create JOY Step-By-Step A fun "tutorial" on how to SPREAD JOY, holiday style, using our Charity Toy Shop and Community Festival, JOY A Christmas Fiesta which I produced for Central!...

This year, to help us grow our Charity Toy Shop at Central Lutheran Church / Iglesia Luterana Central, I’m going to be creating teams of individuals interested in supporting/doing a bit above “normal volunteering.”
The first team is going to be our DONATIONS team. This team will be responsible for securing donations for our toy shop and festival for the community!
COMMITMENT: Couple zoom mtgs between now and December (first in March) to coordinate and then whatever work you commit to reaching out to companies and community sponsors. So if you want to get involved more and/or have connections to help us get more donations, please consider joining!!
Message me if interested!

Thanks in advance!
