These Kids WILL have Presents for Christmas!


What an amazing feeling, and I will certainly Do it again...is all I have to say!

It was last Saturday, December 13,when I volunteered to wrap some " treasure boxes" for some of the most underprivileged kids of Palm Beach and Broward Counties.

I was introduced to the "Treasure Box Project" by one of my Students, and the president of this Wonderful Non-Profit Organization. She is one of the worlds best Children's Entertainer (Suzy Hammer..I love her...what a sweetheart! )

The purpose of "The Treasure Box" is to bring these kids joy and happiness for Christmas by providing a beautifully, and artfully designed wrapped boxes filled with all kinds of toys. They would normally not receive anything-Can you imagine?!

When I arrived you could smell, taste, and hear the spirit of the holidays. I felt so happy to be there because I knew that with my help (along with lots of other volunteers) I could bring children the joy and excitement they deserve for Christmas.

The wrapping was done at a local community clubhouse in Delray Beach. In the entrance of the clubhouse there was a table with all the volunteers names on it, and two happy people eager to place it on your shirt. They pinned it on me, and asked if I wanted to wrap or stuff the boxes. I opted for the wrapping. As I got around the table and past the wall that was blocking all the action, I got even more excited seeing all sorts of people of all ages so active and dedicated, trying to get all 4,000 boxes filled, wrapped, and then boxed by the end of the day to soon be delivered for Christmas.
I must say i never thought I would have had as much fun as I did... I even brought other friends to help out too!

I almost forgot to mention...

Thank You, to those of you who have bought my book "The Cellulite Reduction Program: Getting Rid of the "Dimples of Doom"...For every book sold 10% goes to "The Treasure Box Project"...That is equal to 1 box, which means 1 more child is getting a Gift for the Holidays!!!
