Today, Evelyn Pantuso and her brother Fred went live with our new website -- www.searchingforsmiles.net! (And they made it so easy to make donations. Give it a try!!)

Evelyn was in crunch mode this week to create the site in order to have it available by next Thursday, May 31st, when CNN airs a piece called CNN Heroes, which honors "everyday heroes" and references our site. Next week's featured hero is our own Dr. Trey Wilson, the visionary behind Tabasamu. This CNN global initiative showcases "CNN Heroes," ordinary people who accomplish extraordinary deeds in areas ranging from the environment to civil rights. Culminating in a year-end awards gala, the network will honor the most outstanding of viewer-submitted nominees from around the world.

But our excitement does not stop there. May 31st also happens to be the day that we host our Bucks County Tabasamu Night at Trinity Episcopal Church, 6587 Upper York Road, Solebury PA at 6:30 p.m. We plan to share our experiences from last year and recruit volunteer and financial support for our upcoming trip in September. We will duplicate the event on June 11, from 6 to 8 p.m., in the Reisler Room at Temple Shaaray Tefila (79th and 2nd Ave) in New York City).

I saw your report on CNN and had to check out the site. You do a great job with all the people your helping in Kenya. Do you ever look for volunteers to go to Kenya with you to help? I live in PA but can't make it to the information nights you spoke about - could someone email me about that? Thanks!
