At What Kids Can Do (WKCD), we recently created a 5 min. video/flash presentation of WKCD's first 10 years. For better or worse, the images and words whiz by, just like the work, leaving us breathless much of the time. Thank you for being a steady and enthusiastic suppporter of our work.

If it is coming up quickly, the shooting in Chardon, Ohio, comes to mind. It would be tough to handle that conversation, but I would bet that any discussion you have would touch on this tragedy. It will be on the kids' minds for the time being.
