Review for Family & Children Services of Silicon Valley, San Jose, CA, USA
I have worked over the past five years on a yearly fundraising event for Family and Children Services. During that time, I have come to really understand the mission of the organization and the successful way in which they reach their institutional goals. Whether it is developing programs for youth that have aged out of foster care, or providing mental health services to those who cannot afford it in our community, Family and Children Services changes and improves lives in dramatic ways.

Review for Art in Action, Redwood City, CA, USA
I started out as an Art in Action docent, then a school coordinator and finally a Board member of Art in Action. I have seen the power that the wonderful art history lessons and art instructions have had in the classroom and in the lives of my own children. As school budgets become tight, and art programs are reduced, programs like Art in Action can keep vital art instruction alive in the schools. I happen to have two very creative, artistic daughters, and Art in Action opened the world of art history for them...a world that they continued to pursue in college.
