In 2003, Brian Nurnberger traveled to Oaxaca, Mexico, to scout new locations for his mountain-climbing expeditions.  While there, he volunteered at the local orphanage, Casa Hogar.  Overwhelmed by the incredible poverty of the area and the needs of the orphanage, he returned to Connecticut and founded “Simply Smiles.”  The organization is devoted to providing everything an impoverished child needs for a better tomorrow and Nurnberger’s  belief is that it all starts with just in smile.  Presenting a cheek to Nurnberger are International Department Chairman Terry Asch and Claire Hies of The Women’s Club of Danbury/New Fairfield.
