New Eyes for the Needy in Short Hills, New Jersey celebrates its 75th Anniversary this year. It is a wonderful non profit organization that purchases new prescription glasses for poor children and adults in the US and recycles donated glasses for distribution for people in need throughout the world.
ABC highlighted New Eyes for the Needy this past weekend with questions answered by Susan Dyckman, the executive director and Clelia Biamonti, the president of the Board of Trustees.
New Eyes for the Needy has provided nearly a half-million people with the glasses they so desperately need in the US as well as 56 Countries including Argentina, Cambodia, Ghanna, Morocco, Nigeria and Uganda.
You can help New Eyes for the Needy by making a cash donation, donating your used eyeglasses, hearing aids, jewelry and gift-ware. A gift of just $60 will buy the glasses that can turn someone's life around.
Donors can give right on New Eyes website, www.neweyesfortheneedy.org.

Sellers are always asking:
What is feng shui & will it help me sell my house faster?
So I asked my Feng Shui expert Suzy Minken for the answer:
Feng Shui (pronounced, "fung shway") is a Chinese ancient science which is based on a series of relationships observed in nature. The principles of Feng Shui, which literally translates to "wind water," have evolved over 4,000 years and are used today as a design tool for achieving harmonious living.
In today's economic climate of uncertainty, the residential real estate market is increasingly turning to the application of Feng Shui principles to ensure homes for sale are attracting buyers.
Savvy real estate agents know that getting homes to show their best...means a Great first impression. Getting homeowners to embrace this concept is not always easy. Many of them believe that the home they love so much, should be loved by everyone else.

Has Feng Shui ever helped you sell a home? I'd love to hear more about what works...and what doesn't.
