2011 Apr 14 Charity Weekend Brunch for The Library Project
This weekend, Agenda is proud to sponsor the Reading is Fundamental brunch in support of The Library Project. The Library Project has put books into the hands of more than 100,000 rural children, and has significantly increasing their level of education and their hope for the future. We sincerely hope that you can join us at this fabulous fundraiser this Sunday from 11-2pm. With your help, we’ll be able to support the building of one new library in Hebei province, and raise some money for the people recovering from the Japanese Red Cross as well!
For full details go to Agenda’s site, and we hope to see you there!

Man Chops Off 9 Inches for Charity
A man who hadn’t gotten a proper haircut in over ten years was coerced to do so last month at TATA Salon.
