Just a few reminders for Jen's List:
With now over 3200 members, I am happy to post info that you pass along, however please allow 5-7 days to see your request in the daily newsletter. Also, as much as I would love to help, because I am sure you all want to offer amazing deals on your used items, I have had to say "No" to listing anything used. I am so sorry. If I do it once, it just starts a precedent that I am trying to get away from. For a while, I was listing used items for sale, then it got out of control and I started to feel like craigslist! I am a little over 28 weeks along, with #4 and #5 and slowing down for sure! It will soon be a full house around here soon with 5 boys, ages 5 and under! For more, you can read my blog at www.jenlevinson.com! Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
TEEN LINE Silent Auction
2 of my brothers have been involved in this organization for over 10 years and I greatly applaud all of the work that they have done. Your help is needed. Teen Line is holding an event to raise money for the non-profit teen-to-teen hotline and community outreach services! It will be held in conjunction with the 21st Annual Food for Thought Luncheon on April 30th 2008 at the Beverly Hills Hotel. The title of this year's event is "Saving Lives: Preventing Teen Suicide". The Silent Auction is a major part of this event. For the very first time, it will be presented on-line through the website, www.teenlineonline.org, via C-Market. This will greatly increase the number of people able to participate and your donation will truly make a difference. Your donation(s) will be displayed on the on-line bid sheet(s) and will be open to our TEEN LINE family and friends only. If you wish to make a donation by check in lieu of an auction donation, please make the check payable to TEEN LINE and mail to:

·Preparing for the Process (i.e., how to find out what a school is really about, the need to tutor or not, whether there is a "feeder" or "right" preschool, the best way to prepare for the interview, whether or not to hold back a child);
·During the Process (i.e., the extent of follow up, whether to state a first choice, whether board member assistance or letters of recommendation are essential, whether it is acceptable to apply to both traditional and developmental schools); and
·After Letters Are Sent (i.e., how a wait list works, what to do or not if on one, process of learning about a decision, what options remain if not accepted).
