Week 6: July 5 – July 10

We missed the $500 goal for June by just $90, but I like to gamble .. . . (this whole blog is a gamble) so let’s double the stakes for July. $1,000 by July 30th, lets dig deep, spread the word and see if we can make a little magic happen.

And for those of you in NYC take a trip up to Spanish Harlem and check out Art or Change in Action with the unveiling of a new Mural SOLDADERAS at the Modesto Flores Garden. I would go if I could but DC’s holding on pretty type these days.
