This is a special year for our family's efforts with the COTS Walk. After almost eleven years as the Director of Development for COTS, she is leaving with new challenges on the horizon, including focusing on her writing. Pair that with the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 edition of the COTS Walk going virtual and the great need in the community, and we have the makings for our family's push to raise as much money as possible for this year's COTS Walk.

In light of all that, I'm once again signed up to be a challenge "walker." That means my goal is to raise $1000 this year. I've been a challenge walker every year for the last 10 years. And every year, I've made my goal of raising $1000. In fact, last year I raised almost $1700, and I don't want this year to be any different!I know the uncertainty we all face, especially right now. Think about what it would mean for you and your family to face the threat of pandemic while also facing homelessness. And think about what your donation could mean. By raising $1000 for COTS, we can help prevent two families from becoming homeless. We all know how important the security of having a roof over head can be. Please help -- however you can -- meet my goal of raising $1000 for COTS.Yes, eventually we'll start to see things getting back to "normal." I'm hoping we can help break the fall for people who so desperately need that help right now.You can donate online, write a check, or however it works best for you. I thank you in advance for anything you can do to help.Take care, be well, stay healthy and again, thank you for your support over the years. I hope I can count on your generosity again this year!

Thank you!
