Below, find a copy of an invitation I've just sent to friends on my Care2 list who aren't yet members of the representative group for IYN there. Just recently, Russell made a post at said group that conveyed the message that we're marching forward with our mission and are ISO people who are willing and serious about helping us to help our kids.
Scroll on down to read what I've written as an invitation to do so...
Our army is totally-volunteer,
and we don't rely on violent weapons
in our quest of winning a very important war.
and we don't rely on violent weapons
in our quest of winning a very important war.
Remember how--nine years ago today--so many people were MORE than willing to go onto foreign soil to fight against unspeakable acts of violence that had occurred earlier that morning in New York City, near Washington, D.C., and over some farmland in Pennsylvania?
Are we at least as willing to fight another kind of war right on our very own soil--this time, a war that doesn't involve the spilling of blood but, instead, the extending of hands so that over 1.5 million young people in our country alone might be able to get the help they need to get off the streets.
Not only that, but we also need to implement weapons of prevention so that our invisible youth will have a strong voice against things like abuse (physical, emotional, sexual) going on right in their own homes, bullying at school, and poverty that end up driving them to leave behind their homes and communities in the first place.
Our representative group at Care2 isn't a place for sharing recipes (and such will be removed if posted). However, it might be a place to get inspired to make our recipes to sell at fundraising bake sales and/or directly feed homeless youth.
Please join us in order to become more and more inspired to take action and make this tragic problem history p.d.q.
Yours In The Quest--
