Light the Night

Hey all!
My husband, my brother and I are doing the Light the Night Walk for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society tonight. It's last minute because for some reason I totally didn't hear about it until yesterday. We've started a team page and would be appreciative of any support you can give... http://pages.lightthenight.org/dm/Phoenix09/ForJudy

Now on to the Weekly Planner:
State Fair starts this week!
I'm doing photos at a totally fun charity walk this weekend that would be GREAT for the kids if you don't have plans on Saturday morning. It takes place at the zoo, so the walk fee gets you into the zoo AND helps fund research for Autism. Lots of other fun things going on this HOT weekend too. (seriously? fall and winter are over already?)
Events
First is a cause close to my heart: Tonight is Light the Night for the Leukemia and Lymphoma society. It is a 2.5 mile walk in the dark around Tempe Town Lake. If you wish you could come, but are busy and still want to donate to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, I've created a team page: http://pages.lightthenight.org/dm/Phoenix09/ForJudy

Restaurant of the Week
For the Restaurant of the Week, how about YOU cook? The Hackett House in Tempe is holding a series of cooking classes (Mondays into December) taught by local chefs. They've got a wide variety of food they'll have you cook. This sounds like an EXCELLENT idea. Who's in?
Charity
This week, obviously, I'm thinking about Autism research. Did you know 1 in 150 children are diagnosed with Autism? The Zoo Walk is an easy, fun way to contribute, but for more information on Autism reserch, read here. And as they say, Autism is Treatable!

Outdoors
How about grabbing your camera and checking out some fall colors!
