We are pleased to announce to the opening of the Talk Irvine virtual store. You will notice some of the items featured at the bottom of the home page. This step was made partially in response to those who have, at one point or another, requested items for purchase. What better way than to use this opportunity to help out the community that we know and love. The proceeds will be used to benefit a local non-profit organization. The moderators and admin have come together to narrow down groups for nomination. Among them ? you, the reader ? will get to vote on the charity of choice. Please read below for descriptions of these groups and links to their sites. Have fun browsing the store. As you explore, you will see that the items are customizable.
Cheers,
SoCal
