ConKerr Cancer - Pillowcase project
Make fun, colorful pillowcases for children with cancer.  Many children with cancer stay in their hospital rooms for a very long time - it is their
room.  Help brighten their environment with a homemade pillowcase.  For instructions on how to make them, click
HERE.  Pillowcases can be
donated directly to Rady Children's Hospital and the Ronald McDonald House.  For more information on the project and how it got started,
you can visit conkerrcancer.org .


The 1,000,000th meal packaging event is coming up on March 20 - 21, 2010.  The slots are all full for the November 28 event.  It will

Sponsor an animal for $50 at Rancho Coastal Humane Society.  The girls can participate in the adoption process and support an
animal as it waits for its forever home.  It's educational and hands on.
