    Business

    Unfinished Business, a dramatization of actual events, L.A. was busy working
    fulltime, obtaining a Bachelors of Business Administration and Masters of
    Business Administration, and raising two children. As L.A. is hard at
    work on her next writing project, she is also blogging regularly about topics
    ranging from family, to relationships to hot topics in the news. L.A.
    currently resides in the city of Detroit with her two children.

    Sandy’s
    Land

    Presents a
    Party with a Purpose

    Detroit,
    MI
    – Sandy’s Land presents
    its 3rd Annual Fun Day at Ladels Children’s
    Book Boutique on Saturday, July 11,
    2009 from 1:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.
    The
    theme is "Lifting Up Our Young
    People
    !"
    This year’s
    mission is to Party with a Purpose by
    accepting gently used or new clothes and
    books to be donated to needy children ages 3
    – 10. As Michigan citizens have suffered
    tremendous odds with the most foreclosures,
    job losses, and school closures, children
    are feeling the after affects. Sandy’s
    Land’s goal is to provide little ones with
    hope during these tough times.

     

    The main
    objective is to uplift children’s mind, body
    and spirit with FREE Fun, Food,
    Entertainment and Encouragement.
    "Children are experiencing the stress
    of the economy as much as their parents. The
    problem arises when children don’t know how
    to convey these emotions so they need a
    healthy outlet such as this wonderful
    event," says Cherly Pope, children’s
    author. The program will include Minnie
    Davis with Detroit Parent Network; Katrina
    Crowley Founder of Jazzy Kat (a fitness camp
    for children); Etrelya Manigault-Finley CEO
    of Careertoon Store and Lauren Walker-Thomas
    Co-owner of Ladels Children’s Book Boutique.
    In addition, there will be a book signing of
    Detroit’s #1 Selling Children’s Book, "Imani
    Has The Most Exciting Dream!"
    This
    inspirational book provides little ones with
    key tools to build their self-esteem and a
    story to warm their souls.

    Book Cover of Iman's Story Sandy’s
    Land is a publishing house and entertainment
    service where the mission is to empower and
    inspire children with books, art
    (edutainment) and inspirational products.

    community is invited to Party with a
    Purpose and help lift up children all in
