Germantown Librarians is Cool

Thank you Miss Jaci and Gtown librarians for your generous donation tonight at story time. You girls are way cool and I promise I won't use any of the donations to pay for my book fines.:-)

Love you all,

Mike

6 dias mis amigos!

Six days. The official start of Feel the Burn '07 is closing in. Can't wait. I hope this fundraiser eases the suffering of burn survivors and those affected in any way from burn injuries. This is the driving force of this ride.

I am very thankful to all who are supporting this fundraiser and know that we have already helped the PS in recovering, renewing, and returning burn survivors to their lives.

Please be aware in your lives and take upon the suffering of others, whether it is through action, word, and/or donations. How would the world look if everyone was completely self absorbed? Let's make a change in this world that yields most difficultly to change. We can do it right now.

It is not futile to believe that you can make a difference in this world. Follow your heart and set yourself free. Through our thoughts we make the world.

Archimedes said "Give me a place to stand and I will move the world." Thank you for letting me stand with you.
