Look what I just found!!!!


Found this as Deborah and I were re-organizing my Design Studio last week.

So touched, as Mrs. Sparks, was, by far, my FAVOURITE teacher......she ROCKED as a 5th-grade teacher,....and she ROCKS today,....as a volunteer, walker, and fund-raiser for The American Cancer Society.

Here's to TEACHERS everywhere!!!

Cheers,

Mark.

Shepherd Center



As many of you know,.....I've volunteered at Shepherd Center (the ABI.....Aquired Brain Injury........floor) EVERY Thursday afternoon/evening........for the past 6+ years.

It is my favourite day of the week.  I can go there at 4 pm, exhausted from a productive day of decorating,....and 3 hours later, leave REFRESHED with my head back-on-straight.  

I volunteer in honour of my buddy, Michael O'Neill, who was my first Design-Assistant at Beverly Hall Furniture Galleries.


Michael and I email each other often,.......CHECK OUT his new apartment.......even with a brain injury, he can still decorate with flair and sophistication.  I'm so proud of my friend, Michael.

Last year, I was asked to be on the Shepherd Center Advisory Board, an honour to be sure.

In memory of my late father, Corp. James R. Sunderland, Sr. (WWII, South Pacific), I accept donations from my many friends and clients for Shepherd Center's SHARE PROGRAM.

I love to "Pay It Forward,"......ESPECIALLY for Shepherd Center.

Give if you can, or forward this to an American friend who values our Military as much as I do.

Thanks, All!
