A good cause

This doesn't have to do with walking, but it does have to do with a good cause!

Street Sense, the twice-monthly newspaper about homelessness in Washington, is conducting its second annual silent auction on Sept. 27 from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. downtown. Tickets start at just $25. I do some volunteer proofreading for Street Sense -- it's a great organization that focuses attention on the often-overlooked homeless community, and gives homeless men and women a chance to write and to get off the streets by selling copies of the paper.
