Pennies support a cause: Primary Children's Hospital
I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend! As you know, a portion of my proceeds will be donated to Koins for Kenya, and after my mom passed along some of her penny stories, I realized just how many charity organizations are impacted daily by the power of pennies. I already featured a video on the children of New York and their pennies at Rockafeller Center, and now I'll tell you a little about pennies making a difference at Primary Children's Medical Center.
This memory is a combination of both mine and my mothers. I remember the fun of helping collect pennies for a good cause. So, here is my mom's memory:
For many years the penny has played a role in a charity for the Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake City. Each year, the LDS church had a penny march or "Pennies by the Inch." Each family was (is) asked to measure every member of their family, and add up the total inches. For every inch, you were asked to give a penny. I remember collecting these pennies in my neighborhood for several years. My children were generous with their pennies when they realized they helped many little sick children in the hospital get better.
It's amazing what a difference pennies can make. Clean out your couch cushions this week and donate all the change you find to your favorite charity cause!

Blog counter update
As many of you can see, I added a page counter to the bottom of my page. After some harassment from my brother-in-law Rob about the low number of page views, I had to explain to him that the counter was added on Friday, the day he viewed the blog.
So, like watching your pennies grow a penny at a time, I hope to watch the number of viewers reading my blog grow too-one page view at a time.
