“Talent for Giving” Group
South Bend, IN -
The "Talent for Giving" Group was formed just a year ago, and now includes ninteen authors and artists who have published more than 20 books with five new books that will be published this year. They have participated in numerous fundraising activities including Santa’s Pantry, Brown Mackie College Food Drive, Saint Joseph County Literacy Council, Penn-Harris Madison School Fundraiser, and The Scholarship Program for Saint Mary’s and Notre Dame Students.
The next "Talent for Giving" Networking Meeting will be held on September 9, 2010 at the Tutt Branch Library, South Bend, IN 4:30 to 6:30
Each of us has our own set of talents, and whatever those talents may be, they give us the opportunity to express ourselves in a meaningful way. Through the launching of the "Talent for Giving" initiative, we hope to encourage authors, artists, musician and all kinds of creative people to share their talent with the world and help other people in the process."
