United Way's first-ever Emerging Leaders Bash, generously sponsored by The Laclede Group and Major Brands, capped off a night of victory celebration for the 2015 United Way of Greater St. Louis campaign. The Bash drew hundreds of young professionals and emerging leaders from across the region to join together for a night of food, fun and fireworks at Busch II Infield at Ballpark Village. DJ Suga Ray from New York's Club Slane kept the party going throughout the night while guests munched and sipped on treats from Ballpark Village. 2015 Campaign Co-Chairs Suzanne Sitherwood, CEO of The Laclede Group, Inc., and Sue McCollum, CEO of Major Brands, came out to celebrate with guests and announced the total amount raised for the 2015 campaign – $74,352,108.

The 13th Annual Benefit Dinner for Cullman Caring For Kids Food Bank was a huge success Monday night.

The Empty Bowls of Cullman County organization – with the generous assistance of countless Cullman volunteers, potters, contributors and sponsors – has distilled this nationally known program into a perennial, unique ‘must attend’ charitable event in Cullman.

Several hundred hungry guests lined up for Bobby Nolan’s & Clint Creel’s now famous gourmet chili along a delicious grilled cheese sandwich at the First United Methodist Church.

Cullman City Councilman, Coach Andy Page, was among those in attendance. Coach Page was there to support the charitable efforts and the food:

“This is really an exceptional event. There are dozens of people making this come off like clockwork behind the scenes. I am amazed how many folks came out in this weather to be here. There must be 250 people. What I really like is the food … that chili and grilled cheese hit the spot! I am thinking I should get back in line for a second round …”

Coach Page and everyone else who made the $10 donation for chili and sandwich walked away with a beautiful, hand crafted pottery bowl.

The Generous Briton Inn Melton Mowbray Leicestershire

A generous supporter invited the Iowa crew and guests to catered dinner at his private classic car museum. He asked that we don't reveal the location, and I'll only say this is in southern California.

It was amazing to see so many rare, beautiful cars. Everything works! As much as I enjoy them I'm no good at identifying most of them. Those I do know are shown in the tags. I'll be updating if/when I get solid info.

Season of Generosity Event on Saturday, November 3, 2018.

This year during the First Baptist Church of Elkhart's

Season of Generosity, they decided instead of funding

a worthy cause, they would give of themselves; they wanted

to do something to help the community. They chose to give service to the Town of Bristol

by cleaning gravestones and raking leaves at Bristol's Oak Ridge Cemetery.

Bristol Town Manager Michael Mitchell wrote: "Fantastic morning with dozens

of volunteers. Thank you so much for your time and energy to make Bristol

a great community. It was an honor to work with such caring people."

I was asked to photograph an acoustic gig at the Generous Briton in Loughborough and jumped at the chance to photograph some musicians under coloured lighting and experiment with the images.

Thank you for taking the time to take a look at my photographs

"There are many ways to define generosity, but according to the DIY mavens at Craftsy, there's one true indicator of a person's propensity to give -- their craftiness, of course."

What makes you, you?

Your identity is made up of multitudes — the stories you carry, the music you love, the challenges you overcome, the books you read, the communities you’re a part of, and more. But your identity is a colorful blend of not only what you consume or create, but also the questions you ask and what you’re willing to learn.

In her CreativeMornings talk, Lucy Bellwood shared, “When we box ourselves too tightly into a single identity or career path, we deprive ourselves of the nutrients necessary to remain connected to the world around us. We are lacking in vitamin curiosity.“

The things that make you unmistakably you are not just the eclectic edges, but the simple pillars, beliefs, and values that you simply can’t shake. What sort of spirit or energy do you bring to a room? How do you show up in the world? What are your pillars?

The most unique care and love you can give to your creative identity is to craft it with your own hands.

We are super excited to have on this month’s exploration of Identity Dr. Basmala Qasim Al-Lawati, a doctor and a mother in various ways...

Join us for live music, coffee and pastries from 8:30 am-11 am; the session will commence at 9 am sharp. Registration will start at 8:30 AM SHARP! The talk will be in Arabic.

Taste of Generosity was held at the Nicollet Island Pavilion on Wednesday, September 12, 2018. This fundraising event included a live and silent auction, dining, and plenty of socializing with wonderful supporters and volunteers!
