Happy Fall! It's my favorite season for many reasons; the start of a new school year, cooler weather, my birthday...(I will finally be 18!) everything pumpkin (I'm obsessed), and so many HFC possibilities to look forward to, including Cream 2014!

Dream registration has ended and we have 34 artists representing 12 states and 5 different countries! We are currently working on website updates which include all the info about all of the events. We will have that ready early next week and will send another mailing then, but we wanted to make sure you saved the date for the opening reception at the State House!

The show, sponsored by Senator Thomas McGee, will include all of the palettes that are going to be part of the fundraising auction, as well as some special additions that are part of a project we are working on with some of the shelters we have partnered with...you are not going to want to miss it!

On a personal note...
A lot of people having been asking about my future plans and what will happen to HFC, now that I am a senior in high school. After giving it a lot of careful thought, I am planning to attend a university in the Boston area and continue to grow Hope For Creativity, expand our services and work on innovative ideas to continue to change the lives of children experiencing homelessness in Massachusetts and eventually around the country; i really can't imagine doing anything else!

Words can not express how grateful I am to all of the people who have been so supportive since I was a determined preteen with big dreams, none of this would have been possible without you.
