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

PRESS RELEASE June 29, 2009 For Immediate Release Contact: Sandra Epps 313-492-6953 info@sandysland.com 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.  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.   The community is invited to Party with a Purpose and help lift up children all in the name of fun on Saturday, July 11, 2009 at Ladels Children’s Book Boutique.                                                                      #  #  #
