Donation

I received a $300.00 donation yesterday from Tom Witmer. For those who may not know Tom, his father founded the Prospect Park Termites. I have known Tom sice I was a kid. Recently, while margie and I were on a sailing trip with Tom, we were discussing Yellow Ribbon. Seems Tom has a good friend whose son is very depressed, Tom and the family are very concerned that this son will try a suicide attempt. We gave him the information to presen to the family and the son. I believe this was beneficial in assisting the family "chose" the right plan for the son.

Tonight's Meeting

I think given vacations and how busy everyone has been over the summer we have made some great progress. Jim gave a presentation at Taylor Hospital to some of the ED staff. It was a great presentation and was received very well. YR cards are now available in the ED along with brochures. A website is being put together, fundraising ideas are being tossed around and we have applied for one grant and will be applying for a second soon.
It is my hope that we will have a big turnout at our next meeting. We will be discussing presentations that will be made to kids, school staff and parents, International YR day and senior project information.
I'm excited with our progress and the prospects of what is yet to come.
