Just a quick note to let you all know that members of the organizing committee are now out there actively looking to drum up support for this year’s Miles for Smiles campaign in several ways.  Of course, we’re always looking to convince people to come out to the auction (September 18th, it’s a Thursday) and/or [...]

The Longest Journey…
