Network Reality Show Features Visitacion Valley in
Episode: Board Member on "How to Get the Guy"
San Francisco, CA - June 26, 2006 - San Francisco Visitacion
Valley nonprofit Real Options for City Kids, or ROCK
for short, will be featured on the third episode of
"How to Get the Guy" airing Monday, June 26,
2006 at 10pm on ABC television network. Michelle, known
as "The Career Girl" and a member of ROCK's
Board of Directors, stars in the six episode docu-soap
following the lives of four single women as they attempt
to find true love.
During the episode, Michelle's background will be explored
and will include footage of her volunteering experience
in ROCK's programs. "This is the perfect opportunity
to highlight to a national audience the major impact
a small nonprofit such as ROCK can provide to a community",
said Michelle. Growing up in Las Vegas with little money,
her passion for the organization stems from the values
she learned during her childhood having the support
of family as well as caring adults in recreational programs
like ROCK. Michelle said, "Because of these special
people, I was able to do really amazing things with
my life, including going to college and law school and
becoming a successful trial lawyer."
An exclusive interview with Michelle can be found at
