<p style="text-align: center;">
<div>Last week our Liberty Station, worked to collect shoes as part of the  Sports Chalet, Soles 4 Souls collection for Haiti.</div>
<div>We set up bins at three schools, Explorer Elementary, High Tech Middle  Media Arts, and High Tech Middle School &#8212; all schools in the High Tech Village  / Liberty Station.</div>
<div>Our volunteers worked to set up and decorate the huge collection bins,  promote and communicate the collection and monitoring the bins throughout the  week.  On Friday after school was out, our members sorted, bagged and  transported over 500 pairs of shoes!</div>
<div>The dedication and support of our members, and the entire High Tech school  system was overwhelming!</div>
<div>We are very proud to have participated in the effort to provide shoes to  victims of the earthquake.</div>
