Courage Tiger goes to Italy

Some of you know that one of my favorite charities is Beads of Courage http://www.beadsofcourage.org/
and I regularly donate beads and help out however I can.
Courage Tiger is the Beads of Courage mascot and I took him with us to Italy! We took several pics of him in Florence with beads and will attach those photos with the beads to be donated so that it gives the beads another meaning for children that cannot travel due to their current illness. Here are the photos we took.

Rubbing the boar's nose will bring you good luck and will ensure you come back to Italy!

One of my ancestors?

I am also honored that I have recently been elected the Team Beads of Courage Regional Coordinator for Michigan. http://www.beadsofcourage.org/pages/teamboc.htm
I am super excited to have another opportunity to help out.
