Handheld Screening,a new documentary on PBS, and an AHA Moment!

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share a couple of interesting items with all of you -

For those of you living near Williamsburg Virginia, there will be a free screening (they are accepting donations) of the wonderful documentary Handheld on Nov. 6th at 6:30 PM, which I spoke about earlier on this blog. Handheld was directed and produced by the Academy Award winning director Don Hahn about Mike Carroll and the beginnings of a life-changing charity Romanian Children's Relief which has benefited abandoned and struggling Romanian children for the past 20 years. I am going to try to attend. Mike Carroll will be in attendance along with the executive Director of RCR, my friend Eileen McHenry. You can find out more (and also about a showing on Nov. 2nd at the Romanian Embassy in Wash. DC!) and reserve your spot here. I hope to see you there!

In other news, PBS will be showing a documentary about the beginnings of the disability movement  next Thursday (check local listings - it may be different where you live) on Independent Lens called, "Lives Worth Living" Set your DVR's now to record this program! See more here.

Daniela is having at great week at Shepherds. She had her first class in Introduction to Horticulture and is excited that she is going to spend the weekend at another classmate's house!

Here is one more great link about a video featuring the parent of one of Daniela's first year classmates. Vote for the video so it will be featured on an upcoming commercial for Mutual of Omaha! Then even more of the world will find out about our wonderful Shepherds College!!

  1. Have a great day at the Romanian Embassy on the 6th.

    Wondering if Williamsburg is near the Shenondah Mountains? I am only beginning to appreciate the sweep of Virginia. I know also that it is the history town.

    Handheld will be a marvellous show.

    Daniela: Have a wonderful weekend at your classmate's place, and glad you enjoyed and learnt lots from Introduction to Horticulture. (Katy had some words about that too).
