Domus is working with The Good Men Project to facilitate conversations with the young men in our programs about what it means to be a good man these days. Their book profiles men with various backgrounds and experiences, including Pulitzer winners, ex-cons, and Pro Football Hall of Famers. When you buy the book/DVD package (link below), Domus gets half the profits.

Plus there were homemade rice crispies treats and juice! We're so very grateful for our kindhearted volunteers--we could never take 150 kids somewhere to do th...is!
