Two Worthy Causes

There is a five year old boy of Korean descent who needs to find a blood marrow matching donor. Please consider joining the bone marrow registry. Click here to join and a registration kit will come to you. All you need to do is swab the inside of your cheek and send back the sample. Or, if you are like me and joined the registry so long ago you don't even remember when or where you did, then chances are you have moved and the registry does not have your current contact information. Click here to update your address. I couldn't imagine if one of my kids were sick like this. It makes me feel bad for being such a foul-mood mom when they really are such a wonderful gift.

If you live in LA county, please consider signing this petition. LAUSD is going to cut 50% of its arts programs in 2011 and the other 50% in 2012. Help to convince the school board this is a critical mistake. My girls love art so much and to think that there won't be a formal art program available to them at all in school makes me upset. If you are willing to go an extra step, send an electronic letter to our superintendent. All this takes two minutes and hopefully it will make a difference.
