Since we started Republic West back in 1995, we have made it a priority to “give back” to the community regularly. It is a part of our culture that makes us proud.

This year, our community outreach program has adopted Eileen Roger’s “Big Birthday Wish” and we are fully committed to helping Eileen reach her goal of building a school in Mali. On February 22, 2010, we will hold a yard sale and all proceeds will go to benefit the Big Wish.

We need your help to support The Big Wish! We are asking you to donate your unused or unwanted items for the Republic West yard sale.

Please take a moment to read about the “Big Wish.” “The Big Wish” is to build a 90-student, two-classroom, brick and cement school and related projects in the Mali village of Tourari, located approximately 10 miles west of Timbuktu.

While many people celebrate milestones with a big trip to a faraway place or an extravagant party, Eileen Rogers has chosen to celebrate her 50^th birthday this year to raise funds to build a school in Mali, a landlocked country in West Africa.  Those of us close to Eileen are not at all surprised because we have always admired and been inspired by her commitment to giving to those less fortunate than her. She is an inspiration.

To join Republic West in their support of “The Big Wish” please donate items for our yard sale or visit www.turtlewill.org/donate.php and make a donation.
