Big Thanks!

The South African-born authors, who both now live in the States, will discuss structure and effective use of language as well as publication issues. They suggest a donation of at least $125 per student to Tias Arms .

The Walk for Hope on Saturday Sept 23rd went very well. Tias Arms had 51 walkers on our team. We have raised $3,000 to date from the walk. We are grateful to Be the Cause www.bethecause.org for creating this opportunity for us to raise the funds we need to sustain our outreach to the children of Tias Arms.
A huge thanks to all our volunteers for our "5th" annual celebration of TIASARMS 2006.
