Community Building

Thanks to all of you that have donated your things to Grow With Me or bought items from our new Second Bloom Room where everything is priced at $1. We recently were able gave checks to the Ann Arbor Autism Foundation (http://www.annarborautism.org/ ), the Judson Center (http://www.judsoncenter.org/ ), and A Different Path Newsletter (www.aaps.k12.mi.us/haisley.home/different_path_newsletter ) for a total of $13oo.

We also continue to give bagloads of donations to local charities such as House by the Side of the Road and programs run by the Washtenaw Intermediate School District. And we are currently selling Among Friends cookie mix with all proceeds benefitting the Lamaze Family Center (http://www.lamazefamilycenter.org/ ).

And I've saved the best for last! This coming Thursday, July 22nd from noon until 3:00, we will be celebrating Everybody Deserves a Massage Week, a nationwide sponsored event through the Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals, here at Grow With Me. Relax and Renew Massage will be giving free chair massages here at the store--yay! Monetary donations will be accepted and shared with the Ann Arbor Foundation and Humane Society.
