Sowing Seeds of Hope



Thanks to you, and our amazing sponsors and strategic partners, together Laura's List: Books for Women made a difference in the community and greater globe. Here’s what our movement accomplished in 2010:Laura's List support helped raise over $1,000 for the John Dau Sudan Foundation and nearly $1,000 for the Rosamond Gifford Zoo at a recent going away party at the Zoo for Dr. Barbara Connor, Medical Director for the Clinic in South Sudan In the picture, Laura's Parents (Beverly and Charles) at Rosamond Gifford Zoo in Syracuse, NY with Asian elephant sponsored by Laura's List.

Awaken-Mind, Body, and Spirit Retreat enriched lives and empowered those present. With a sold-out venue and over 100 men and women gathered as we inscribed our worries on pieces of paper and burned them to the wind. We then lit candles symbolically representing hope intentions while standing outside in a Monet replica garden. Together, we sponsored 15 women to attend this event (that’s 1500 raised).
