Another achievement!

Every month we at Try Change strive to bring our message of spreading hope, peace, faith, diversity and positive change to as many people as possible. This week we were fortunate to become the feature story in the Your Life section of the Sunday edition of the Potomac News!

Boost Up

Tonight Try Change introduces you to BoostUp.org.

In the United States only four out of ten high school students graduate. At Try Change we believe that we all can make a difference. Often making a difference is not as hard as we think it can be.

At BoostUp.org you can make a difference in a students life by offering words of encouragement,texting a student as a message or a helping hand. You can also send these messages through Facebook, MySpace, Youtube. Boost then collects these messages and records them. As stated in their website "Each comment, message, text,or video of support is counted and used to build the colorful landscape of each teens profile page. The more you Boost the bigger and brighter each persons virtual world becomes"

Check out BoostUp.org and learn more about how you can help encourage a student to graduate high school.

Try Change Interview on the Guy Lambert Show

Add Try Change Guy Lambert Show to your page

Check out the interview Vince did with Guy Lambert from WPGC!
This was a great opportunity for Try Change to get out there and talk about our mission in the community. Guy Lambert is a personality on WPGC (95.5FM) and he does a weekly show called Community Focus. Vince was able to catch Guy's interest and get on the show for a 15 minute interview. It was pretty amazing! Vince got to talk about how the idea of how Try Change got started and what we do in the community.

We've got a lot of things in the works right now...new designs, photo shoot, possible fashion show...and for those of you in Northern Virginia, we just got word that Try Change is going to be interviewed by the Potomac News for an upcoming article so be on the look out for that. We'll let you know more details once we know more.

Sometimes we get caught up in everything that is going on and we have to remember that the reason we started Try Change stems from the need for us as a society to return to common decency toward one another. That can mean different things to different people but I think for many people it comes down to treating one another with a sense of respect and finding time to give back. Giving back can be as simple as giving a smile to someone that needs one or donating clothing to your local shelter. It doesn't have to take a lot of time...In today's world none of us has a whole lot of time to spare but even small things can make a big difference in some one's life and in yours. Each of us can make a difference and promote positive change around you!

Thanks for stopping by and checking out the interview!
Chrissie & Vince
