Attention Las Cruces!  We are bringing you the opportunity to hear 
world-renowned entrepreneur and philanthropist Blake Mycoskie, 
founder and Chief Shoe Giver of TOMS Shoes, tell the dynamic 
TOMS Shoes' Story on Thursday, March 11, 2010 at Hotel Encanto.

     TOMS Shoes has become a national phenomenon that has
attracted consumers with its one for one company model--TOMS 
donates one pair of shoes to a child in need for every pair purchased.  
Since its inception, TOMS has given away over 400,000 pairs of shoes
to children in need throughout the world.  TOMS has gained
national recognition through ad campaigns, appearances by Blake 
around the country on many university campuses, 
and a Tribeca awarded winning short film about TOMS'
inspirational impact.  To learn more about TOMS Shoes 
and their energetic founder Blake, you can visit

     Blake's speech for the public follows a private talk 
he will give as the culminating event for the 2009-2010
Innoventure Competition.  Innoventure is a competition
that ignites innovative thought and technical skills
in middle and high school students throughout New Mexico.  
The students have been working hard for the entire 
academic year to materialize their innovative concepts,
and they will unveil this work at the final competition! 
For more information on the program, please visit Innoventure's social
networking site http://www.innoventurenetwork.org.

     Blake is a great fit with our competition this year 
as we continue to show students and the New Mexico 
community at large how social entrepreneurship 
is changing the world, and how we can all be an integral 
part of that change.

 calendars and encourage friends and family to join you!
