► Bob's Dentures
9/1/16 - Held a fundraiser "Bob's Denture Fund" with GoFundMe.
10/1/16 - Bob had 11 teeth extracted at Light of the World Dental in Palm City.
11/9/16 - Dr. Val Tsar (West Palm Beach) provided a beautiful set of dentures to Bob. Bob is a great guy that I met at LAHIA 
(a homeless outreach in Stuart) He is a sober and productive homeless man who repairs bikes for others at LAHIA. This was a
good thing for us to do. Bobs' departing words to me were "This has literally changed my life, thank you so much."

All promoting Conscious Discipline®. Grants providing Conscious Discipline materials, and scholarships to attend Conscious Discipline workshops for adults have been awarded to teachers and institutions supporting social and emotional well being of foster care children.

► Marathon of the Treasure Coast
Bart's Blue Star Foundation manned 2 water stations at this years Treasure Coast Marathon. The pic of the little girl was taken because she asked her mom to "Buy some water for the people who were running and thirsty," so they dropped off a case of water for us to hand out. We raised about $1000 and more to follow.
