Give Back in a Flash!: Aces & Icicles is back!

Dearest do-gooders,

Last year, my old friend and tennis coach Billy Previdi and his family started a tennis fundraiser to benefit Connecticut Hospice.  Connecticut Hospice was the first hospice in America and it is an organization that is very dear to my heart. 

This year, the Second Annual Aces & Icicles Event will be held on Saturday, February 25, 2012 at the Walsh Intermediate School in Branford, CT.  Billy will be running two competitive sessions of "point play" tennis and there will be refreshments and prizes!

To reiterate my comments from last year, the Previdis are simply wonderful people whom I have had the pleasure of knowing since I was a little girl.  To be able to play tennis with Billy for $30 and to do it for a good cause is an absolutely incredible opportunity.  You can't give back easier (or more fun) than this event!

Here are the details:

Date:  Saturday, February 25, 2012
Time: Point play at 9:00 am to 10:30 am and then again from 10:30 am to noon
Cost: $30 per player

Sign up by emailing Billy at previdib at gmail or by going to the facebook event page here!

Give Back in a Flash: Can you help out Hands on Hartford on Leap Day?

Hello do-gooders!

I apologize for my extended absence.  In only two weeks, I swear I will be back to posting regularly and bringing you easy opportunities for giving back.

Here's a way to give back in a flash:

Hands on Hartford is currently looking for volunteers for their Take a Break from Work program where you can help serve lunch at MANNA Community Meals.  They are in need of volunteers on Leap Day which is February 29th!

Check it out here!

P.S. Can't volunteer? Hands on Hartford is currently in need of clean new socks, personal toiletry items, and coffee!  Drop some off at 45 Church Street!
