AdoptWalk 2010
AdoptWalk
2010 was a success! The clouds stayed away, and it really
was a lovely day. Families and friends turned out for a fun 5k
walk,
barbeque and activities for the children. 15 % of my sales went
to the
Adoption Council of Ontario. I look forward to next year!!
The 2nd Annual AdoptWalk 2010, was held in Toronto, on September 26th

NACAC , North American Council on Adoptable Children August 4-7, 2010
“Labours of Love Designs” made it to Hartford! After MUCH preparation....my friend Tania and I made the trip to Hartford Connecticut to attend the NACAC conference from Aug.4-7. The exhibit and all the merchandise made it there before us, care of a customs broker (complicated) and all in one piece!!
The exhibit looked great, the reviews were very positive, and all who stopped by loved the cards and gift selection! Everyone was excited about the business, asking when it would be available online, folks had many ideas about how it could benefit their agencies/families and themselves personally. We were offered lots of good feedback on more options for cards and other gifts....we were exhausted but pumped!!
NACAC, North American Council on Adoptable children is the largest North American organization that works tirelessly for foster/adoptive children and families in a myriad of ways that all will benefit and ensure positive outcomes. The conference is an annual event, and I highly recommend taking part, anyone professionally or personally, take part... it is an inspiring event. Visit www.nacac.org for more info on the conference and NACAC.
