catching up!

It has been a busy month! Had lunch with the Christian Women's Group on Feb 2. Jan Martin & Gail Leonard spoke about our shelter for the homeless in the Outer Banks called Room at the Inn. I did a benefit concert for the homeless shelter in Va Beach, the Light House Center on Feb 10. Sunday Feb 12 I was at the Universal Unitarian Church here in Kitty Hawk and that same night sang for the Feline Hope benefit dinner Paws for Love.

I had a great time at all these functions meeting and talking with members of community. Thank you to all the volunteers who give their time to these causes and their community.

Valentine's Day I delivered a singing Valentine to Faze at the Black Pelican in Kitty Hawk - that was fun! The same evening I was at Kelly's in Nags Head for a busy night and great crowd!

I'll be back at Mighty Wind UMC on Sunday Feb 19 and March 4 for their 10am service in the music room of First Flight Middle School.

This Sunday I'll be at a Living Room Concert in Southern Shores for the winner of the silent auction/fund raiser for the League of Women Voters.

I'll also be at Ignited By Truth convention again Feb 24 & 25 in Raleigh at the Convention Center leading music on Saturday. Come by my booth if you're there!

Thank you all for your continued support & for making Feb 2012 anything but a quiet month!

Danny Thomas & St Jude

This came across my emails today: On February 16, the U.S. Postal Service will officially release the new Danny Thomas stamp, just six weeks after what would have been his 100th birthday. And fate being the sly gal that she is, this week our family -- and families worldwide -- will be celebrating another big day: the 50th anniversary of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, which was certainly the crowning achievement of our father's life and career.

My support for St Jude Hospital goes back a few years. It actually started when I was a youth minister at St Bede's in Williamsburg, VA. When I produced my first Christmas project, Christmas with You (on cassette) the proceeds went to St Jude. My next Christmas project, All Hearts Go Home For Christmas, produced in LA was also a benefit for the cause - all the writers, musicians and producers volunteered their time and talents and local business supported our efforts financially. When all was said and done, we donated $13,000 to St Jude over the life of the project. I performed at the hospital - one of the most moving performances I've experienced and then toured the hospital singing Merry Christmas and Felice Navidad to the kids who couldn't get to the lobby. Looking at these photo takes me right back to conversations with these kids and their parents.
