NCMEC & BlogHer

If you do not know what NCMEC stands for, it is the abbreviation for The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. When I was preparing to go to BlogHer, I got contacted by a representative from Tavern Direct, and this is where it may get confusing to some. What does a company that sells delicious specialty foods have to do with missing kids?  Well long story short, 50 cents from every item sold through Tavern Direct goes straight to NCMEC.

Great cause!  We were invited to a delicious dinner at F. Illi Ponte Ristorante. It was an amazing, and probably the best food I had the whole time while I was in the city. We sat down, and listened to a Gentleman from NCMEC talk about the cause, how he got involved and what they are looking to do with Bloggers. I hung on to his every word because it was something so important to listen about. With two little boys, who will sooner rather than later be leaving the house for school, and activities where I cannot watch them 100% of the time it is better to be safe than be sorry.

We learned a lot that evening, and I am planning on working with them more to learn more about their cause, internet safety, and other things that I could write about that will be important to parents who have children all ages.
