Kelly Rose 10/14/2017 7:45 AMI will be sorting through "stuff" this weekend, primarily, clothes, and identify a few charities to drop them. Coats, gloves, scarves, and sweaters will likely go to a women's shelter/charity. Winter is coming close and my warm, gently worn clothing will keep a couple of women very cozy. -
Kelly Rose 10/12/2017 8:40 AMTonight I attend an annual Ovarian Cancer fundraiser, my initial involvement with the local Ovarian Cancer Alliance chapter. This is in memory of my sister who died from OC and in keeping with a promise I made to her that I would spend my life advocating for OC awareness and research. Although not an environmental organization, it is a non profit and serves a vast community of women and their families.-
