They Pulled It Off: Sarah's Heading To Long Island

Back in January, I poked a little fun at the Independent Group Home Living Foundation of Manorville, New York.

They invited Alaska Governor Sarah Palin to come to their 30th annual fundraising gala, to receive their "Honoree of the Year" Award. I figured they were reaching for the stars.

Turns out they pulled it off. She will be coming to the event - originally scheduled for May, now moved to June 7. I am impressed.

Walter W. Stockton, IGHL's Chief Executive Officer, "Governor Palin is a devoted public servant and mother who has set a fine example on the national stage for many families having children with developmental disabilities. As a mother with a Down Syndrome child, Governor Palin has become an inspirational symbol to our IGHL families who are coping with their own children's special needs. These families look to leaders such as Governor Palin for compassionate attention to the educational and therapeutic programs that are improving their own youngsters' chances for learning. We at IGHL applaud the Governor for her concern for children with disabilities."

Sometime dreaming big does pay off.
