Coalition Follow-up

Folks,

I have returned from NYC where I enjoyed a three-day stay and watching my very talented daughter perform. She is destined for stardom.

Enough bragging. Thank you all so much for attending Thursday's first Coalition meeting and for all the ideas you generated in sub-committee. I am delighted and humbled to be in the presence of such knowledgeable and hard-working people.

The majority signed up to work on Committees, outstanding. Some of you didn't because it wasn't appropriate or your involvement has limitations. This is fine, too. We understand those in attendance have varied levels of commitment and appreciate support at whatever level we can get it.

Isabel and I plan to be intimately involved in each of the sub-committees and one of us, if not both, will attend each meeting. I will be contacting the Committee co-chairs to find out when the next meeting is scheduled and provide them with the list of who's who.

Two of the Committee's have already scheduled their meetings:

* Education Committee (chaired by Wanda Boone and Dr Tina LaPage) is set for May 27th at 12:30 pm
* Youth Advocacy (chaired by Ginny Guilfoile and Maxeine Mitchell) is set for May 12th at 8:30 am

Click here for a table with all the contact info (and corrections, are there more?) It is divided-up into members of each sub-committee.

I am deeply grateful for your time and desire to make a difference.

Dale
