ASAP - Mile 73 (Ten More Pairs)

A Shoe Adoption Project Update - We donated ten more pairs of shoes to Foothill Family Shelter in Upland on Thursday afternoon (8/9/2018). I hope these shoes will bring some joy to the homeless children as school is about to resume in the neighboring districts. My friend Eloise’s contribution (a pair of Reeboks) is included in this batch of donation. Thank you, Eloise. Thank you also to Shauna, who is Lead Case Manager at Foothill Family Shelter in Upland, for her communications.

During my visit to the shelter's office to drop off our donation, I had the pleasure of briefly meeting the co-executive director Megan of Foothill Family Shelter. She works with community development and is very kind and welcoming. This batch of shoes will likely go to her clients who are in the "120 Day Program".

“Summer’s almost over” (by Seth Godin – August 8th, 2018)

When I was a kid, my mom would start saying that in mid-July.

I think she meant well. Summer is a great time to stand back, to chill out, to spend an entire day or a week producing little or nothing and simply breathe.

But she was reminding us that regardless of our internal clock, the real world keeps moving forward, and that maybe this little window of time, one that we’ll never see again, could be a great time to make a contribution, find a connection and explore what might be possible. The ability to create is a rare privilege, and it’s not to be ignored.

If you can make a ruckus, make a ruckus.

With this batch of donation, we have contributed to 122 pairs of shoes delivered to children who are in need. Have a wonderful weekend, summer's almost over.
