The night served as the inaugural Spring Party fundraising event and highlighted the work Good Shepherd Services has accomplished over the past year. The evening benefited the thousands of at-risk children, youth, and families that Good Shepherd Services assists through its various programs.

Good Shepherd Services, the winner of the inaugural New York Times Award for overall management excellence, works with more than 20,000 New York City children, youth and families through over 70 programs. The agency’s programs include two networks of community-based youth development, education, and family service programs in Brooklyn and the Bronx; group homes for adolescents; and foster care and adoption services. All of Good Shepherd’s programs are united by a common goal: to help vulnerable youth and families find a safe passage to self-sufficiency.

Good Shepherd Services continues their mission of surrounding at-risk New York City youth and their families with a web of support that promote a safe passage to self-sufficiency. Log on to www.goodshepherds.org for more information or to make a donation.

I’m such a big fan of fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi, I think he is super talented and has a fabulous sense of humor.

Isaac Mizrahi has probably the most interactive websites out there and I wanted you to check it out. You can watch Isaac’s latest video blogs, which by the way, are so cool because you can get to know a bit of his own personal style and see how funny he is. And, the icing on the cake, you can get to watch Isaac Mizrahi’s Spring 2009 Collection straight from the runway of New York Fashion Week. It’s spectacular, not just because Isaac’s exquisite designs, but you will feel you are actually there, front row. I know I don’t want to miss this privileged experience. If you are reading this Isaac, thank you so much for giving us a sneek peek!
