so it begins...

Greetings everyone!

Convey is going back to Vietnam! But this time they're bringing reinforcements...  
I am so lucky to be a part of the trip, coming up September 9-22, along with a group of artists from all over Missouri and as far away as California.

Just 2 weeks ago we had our first group meeting. A few of us were able to meet at the studio to sign some official paperwork, make some plans and get some details, and have some delicious pancakes. After just a couple of hours I found myself excited, inspired, and in awe.

excited for how this group of thirteen people, a combination of complete strangers and lifelong friends, is going to build this trip, each of us contributing in unique ways.

inspired by video, photos, and stories from Convey's first trip to Asia last spring

and in awe of how we'll use our talents to help this incredible organization help people in Vietnam--in ways I don't think we can even imagine.

In the coming weeks leading up to our trip in September, I'll be updating with stories of who we all are, what we're going to do, and how you (yes, YOU dear reader!) can get involved.

For now:

1) Save The Date: November 1 will our benefit masquerade and art sale. Mark your calendar and get ready for an amazing night. Many many more details to come!
2) Get to know Giving It Back to Kids. This is organization is doing a lot of crazy-good things.
3) Check out Brandon Goodwin's amazing videos to see some of those crazy-good things. 1 2 3
