Thanks to the fine crew at WAND-tv, NBC 17 in Springfield for coming out to highlight the 48by48 journey while working with Habitat for Humanity of Sangamon County.

A big "thank you" to Sandra Sanchez for putting this great story together about the 48by48 journey. She had a very busy schedule and even conducted part of the interview by phone at her kid's swim meet.

I'm so thankful for the local press who pick up the story which helps connect others to the Service To Others lifestyle idea. If you know of a newspaper, radio station, tv station, or blogger who might help spread the word, shoot me an email.

KSDK Interview in St Louis, MO — The Traveling Volunteer: Making a Difference Across the Country

Original story: http://www.ksdk.com/news/local/story.aspx?storyid=194430&catid=3

The paper I grew up reading contacted me a few weeks ago about doing a feature story on the 48 by 48 journey. The Daily Globe published the story this past Saturday in their "Person of the Week" section (a section I've had the privilege of being in twice...the first one was right out of high school). They also posted the story online. You can check it out by clicking on the link below.

A big thanks to Beth Rickers for doing the interview. She's a great writer and very thorough. Thanks for considering this newsworthy Beth!
