Welcome to new P2P Coordinator in Kitsap/Jefferson Mike Krebs, and Roz Bethmann, Spokane County! Jenell and Helen are still working for their Arc's just in other capacities. So Thank You to them also.
"A Smile to you all....." As I walk around my neighborhood, I remind myself to take a deep breath and smile :) Not only is it good for the spirit but I read that it can keep wrinkles in your face from forming? We have had some tough, horrible times lately, with another tragedy, now in Colorado, but when I saw this show on 60 Minutes about a project that YokoOno donated called "The smile project", it made me, well, Smile. Check it out on www.smilesfilm.com and hope that it helps a little. Thanks for all you do, Susan
