A note from Joan:  "I'd like to announce my participation in Rose Wu's book, The Journey to Success: If She Can Do It, I Can.  It will be available on e book in Feb 2012. The book is about what inspires successful women. From now until Dec 21, I am asking everyone to buy an advance copy since 90 % of the proceeds will benefit the St Bernard Project in New Orleans. The cost is only $ 20 000 to build a home for a family. Imagine not having a home at Christmas! Please join Rose & myself to move a family into a home on Dec 24, 2011. Please visit www.rosewu.org to buy your advance copy today !"
