Kimberly Legg and Susan had talked about the man who lost his wife in the Temecula area. It was a sweet, funny tale about golfing, hobbies, and fabric. But it has turned into a beautiful relationship and legacy. Temecula Area Coordinator Kimberly Legg joins Susan to give an update about their chapter’s newest volunteer and patron, Mr. Karl. Let’s just say the Temecula chapter is SET for their Bink-A-Thon on October 19. Mr. Ballen Foundation has sponsored each chapter’s events, but there’s a new donor in town – Mr. Karl fills Kim’s living room – again – with enough fleece for hundreds of binkies! We are sad for Mr. Karl’s loss of his wife of so many years. Sometimes, we can look at these losses and see some sunlight. Listen to the quick update.
We hope you enjoy these and the rest of this week’s playlist.
