Help families in the slums of Nepal

Living in outrageous conditions, Octavia, a Jens List member, asked 11 families “what can we get you? food, money, water, clothes?”. The answer was unanimous, they all said “please help our children go to school”. Educating Nepal’s children is the key to the success of the country. Help break the chain of poverty and lack of education for 11 families whose children are currently working, not attending school, or attending a Government school that offers them no options. Providing tuition for one year to each child is our goal. Tuition, supplies, uniforms and one meal is $750 per child for one year, however any amount of donation is appreciated.

Pawdpet, the cute huggable carrier and holder for iPhone, iPod, iPad mini or for any electronic tablet

Perfect for traveling or simply on-the-go! PawdPet (www.pawdpet.com) is the creation of a mom turned inventor/entrepreneur. After traveling with her small children, she noticed she was having to hold phones and tablets to keep her children occupied with videos and games. She hand-made her solution; a cuddly plush bunny that could hold, position and safely carry the children’s iPod Touch. It instantly became her children’s favorite toy, going everywhere with them. Other children and parents would ask where they could get one, and PawdPet was born!

Sharky’s Woodfired Mexican Grill

The founder, Steve Paperno, had a vision to combine the variety of flavors he experienced traveling through Mexico with innovative recipes and his passion for healthy living. Steve noticed much of the food at restaurants was processed and lacked healthy options. His passion for eating organic and natural food along with his active healthy lifestyle inspired him to fill this void and make a difference in the way people dined out. The result is an innovative menu that strives to use fresh, natural and organic ingredients combined with unique cooking styles for enhanced flavor and the promise of excellence and satisfaction. Today, there are 21 restaurants.

Fundraising is a dirty business…but someone has to do it

Sunday, January 25th at 11am

Raising funds for charity is a drag, so let’s make it fun! It doesn’t really matter what the activity is, so long as the community comes together and has a good time. There will be a goat in a marked field and you will watch it wander around. The field will be gridded and when the goat does what a goat does, whoever owns that square wins a prize. They have some great prizes. Squares are only $20.
