Global Sourcing Coins 4 Kids Floor Champion, Neta Latham, is an enthusiastic supporter of Coins 4 Kids and its mission to feed schoolchildren in Nairobi.  She is serving in her position for the second year in a row, jumping at the chance to be a part of the fundraising events this year.  Neta and her husband, who serves on the Fayette County School Board, are passionate about education and believe the school feeding program helps to educate the children as well as nourish their bodies.

Floor Champions are responsible for coordinating and assembling their floor's raffle basket to be raffled during the Spring 4 Kids annual luncheon.  Last year's Global Sourcing basket, "Boot Scootin in San Antonio" was a big hit and included round trip air fare to San Antonio, accommodations, rental car, gift cards and even a cowboy hat made out of IP paper and signed by International Paper CEO, John Faraci.  

To raise the funds needed to assemble this fantastic basket, Neta brainstormed and decided to run a small live auction on the 8th floor.  It was such a big success that she's bringing it back this year!  This year's basket will be themed "San Francisco - a Gateway Experience" and will include air fare, hotel, rental car, restaurant certificate, sunset cruise, Alcatraz tour, wine glasses and the movie "The Rock"

Here are the details:

    When - Wednesday, March 26th from 11:30 - 12:15

    Where - Tower I, 6th floor lobby

    Who - Global Sourcing and EHS&S employees

    What - live auction with many exciting items including Grizzlies IP box seats with parking passes, hotel gift certificates, round of golf at Ridgeway Country Club, restaurant gift certificates and much more....all benefitting Coins 4 Kids! Rick Ouellette is the auctioneer, and does an amazing job every year to feed more children!

So, if you work in either of these two divisions, we encourage you to participate this Wednesday and know that your donations are feeding children who really need our help.  We wish Neta and her team the best of luck with the auction!  Like so many International Paper employees and spouses, she exemplifies the spirit of dedication and generosity that enables Coins 4 Kids to help so many children in need.
