JWP had the distinct pleasure of spending the weekend with a crew (and I do mean CREW!) of Hemmens and Wickams for Kim and Madison’s wedding in early August, where family and friends abounded. There were a ton of laughs had with this laid back bunch, along with sweet tears of joy and remembrance. With Kim’s brother officiating an amazingly heartfelt wedding ceremony, Madison’s dad joining the band on stage for a couple of blues jams, and sweet wagons full of precious baby nieces and nephews – this truly was a reminder of how much it means to be a part of something special….FAMILY! Thanks Kim and Madison for letting us be an extended part of yours on such a special day.

I had the good fortune last week to volunteer my services to an amazing organization that I just haven't found a way to work with directly since I found out about them. They are The Care Communities and depend on volunteers to come together as a "Care Team" to support and love on individuals who are living with AIDS or fighting cancer.

They recently put on their Annual iCare Gala at the TDS Exotic Game Ranch which was super nice and honored three community leaders with awards for their support and work towards helping Care Communities fulfill their mission.

Here are some of the pictures from the evening and some of the items auctioned off during the evening. I hope those of you reading will at least take a look at the work CC is doing at very least as a reminder that there are always people who can use our help..we just need to be willing to give it sometimes.

Thank you Roger for asking me to be a part of the evening and I hope that I can be of service to you and the Care Team ongoing.
