Calendar kids help with fundraiser

In a photo in the 2013 Heart and Soul Calendar, Emerson Smith peeks out from behind the raised skirt of her pink dress, a pink flower clipped onto her head of curls. She's Miss November.

The 2-year-old is one of 16 children featured in this year's calendar, a collaboration between Amy Knollmeyer Photography and the Special Learning Center, SLC. The center is a partner agency of the United Way of Central Missouri.

This year is the seventh year for the calendars, and they serve as a fundraiser for the SLC. The calendars were unveiled Thursday at a party at Amy Knollmeyer's studio. They went on sale Friday and are $15 each.
