In Honor of Grace's birthday we are founding A Day of Grace.  We are asking her friends, neighbors and folks far and wide to say happy birthday to her by emulating her calling to serve, and serve and serve.  On this day please spend some time volunteering, helping a person in need, or just being kind to a stranger.  Bake someone a cake, read a book to some children, the sky is the limit when it comes to putting others before self.  If you are so inclined will will be raising funds on Give Butter for the Lamb Center in Fairfax, Va, and Cafe 5000 a food insecurity program sponsored by Elmwood Presbyterian Church, in East Orange, NJ. We ask that you post your stories of Grace and your activity on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/234160909461125 and don't forget to have a hot dog and beer to toast her day!!!  Thank you friends and family. https://givebutter.com/48H5EL. Cathy and Karen
