Weekend Run-Down

Hello Everyone! From a life-saving Daisy to a handful of philanthropic projects and more, this Monday's Weekend Run-Down highlights some very positive individuals who lead by example:

  • First, out of Destin Florida, a life saving five year old.

  • Next, check out a great interview with former Girl Scouts of the USA CEO Frances Hesselbein in T+D Magazine.

  • The Rocky Mount Telegram reports on North Carolina High School senior Elizabeth Casey, 17, and her efforts to successfully transform unused Sunday School rooms into a "department store" for the homeless.

  • Out of Historic Georgia, The Ledger-Enquirer is reporting on Camp Jordyn, a day camp for children with cancer and other chronic illnesses.

  • Last but not least, The McAlester News-Capital in Oklahoma shares a story about and photo of Cookies being sent to American troops stationed in Iraq.

  • Enjoy!
