Are you ready to ROCcK?

First Book- Mahoning Valley is very pleased to be working in conjunction with Brenda Rider, founder of the A Way With Words Foundation, the ROCcK Choir (Raising our Commitment to Cancer Kids) and with Chris Yambar (of the Simpsons Comics fame, and more!) at the AWWWMAZING PLACE at Southern Park Mall (near the Buffalo Wild Wings entrance).

This new store serves as an outreach center to help both cancer patients and their friends and families. Customers are encouraged to come in and share their experiences, ask questions about helping friends through cancer, or just learn more about the organization. Items for sale in the store benefit the A Way With Words Foundation and The ROCcK Choir.

First Book- Mahoning Valley is honored to have some of our Beads for Books items for sale at the store. A percentage of the proceeds will benefit both our organization and theirs- so please stop in and support us... or just support them and tell others about us!

Keep an eye out for monthly Beads for Books events beginning in August, when you can shop our full line of Fireball beads.

Also watch for announcements of additional events at the store. You don't want to miss an opportunity to watch Chris Yambar paint or run into the elusive (he often just tries to blend in) Guy Shively, whose art is also featured.

On a side note, there are very lovely key chains and necklaces designed by inSAMity- a sweet ten year old (Sammi) who is very excited to be a part of this store and the opportunity to raise funds for both A Way With Words and First Book with her own designs.

Check it out and when you do, pick up some info about our August 8 golf outing!
