Toms!

Everyday last semester at the Senate I would come in and do my morning routine in the office and then sit down and read the New York Times online. One day I stumbled across this article about Toms shoes. This young, goodlooking entrepreneur had started this company to provide shoes to those people that lived in extreme poverty. Since then AT&T I think it is is using him in their commercials. So, maybe some of you have seen him. Anyways, I really really really want a pair for Africa and there is a local store in Portland's Old Port that sells them so I need to get up there before I leave. For the most part you aren't going to find them being sold in any major stores they're kind of a grassroots thing. The website, www.tomsshoes.com can give you locations where they are sold and you can purchase them for shipping to your house their too. My personal favorite are the blue swing canvas. Anyways, I thought you all should know that i've heard great things about them and I think they would be great for summer. Plus, it's just a small way for you to be the change.
