Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To: Chick Ball Volunteers, Donors, Entertainers, and Supporters

From: The Center for Violence Prevention, Sandy Middleton, Ex. Director

Thank you for all your hard work that resulted in the “best-ever” Chick Ball. Donna and her gang at the Free Press have truly outdone themselves this year. These ladies have raised over $7000 for us up to this point, and the money is still coming in. Thank you also to every business and individual who donated an item for auction or raffle and to the entertainers who kept us mesmerized all evening. All these wonderful items and talent made the night even more special!

Please understand the gravity of the success of this event. This means we can: Fill prescriptions for little boys who are sick; replace tires for a woman who needs her car to flee a violent situation; fund bus tickets to move a young mother and her small children back to Minnesota where her family is waiting to help; provide dental work for a victim who had damaged teeth; and on and on I could go. Basically, from the bottom of our hearts, we want to somehow express how grateful we are for every expression of support from each and every one of you who participated!!! Thank you a thousand times over, and we’ll see you next year!

I'm glad to see that the $7000 will be helping women and children that need it the most. In the words of Alex P. Keaton, "I am a woman!"

[Editor's Note] Love Thy Neighbor
Izzy: it's not enough to just study something - at some point you have to act. Systematic exclusion can be read as hatred, even when those involved in it do not feel it to be that. This is ...

[Editor's Note] Love Thy Neighbor
J.T.: Wintrhop, your last sentence "I don't want a small and manageable God. I prefer one that I can't fully understand." bears out that we each have perceptions of God. And, when the ...

Wintrhop Sargent: Funny you should mention the gender issue of a deity. I was at lunch with a St. Andrews priest one time and a very conservative member of the Cathedral came to our table ...

[Editor's Note] Love Thy Neighbor
Izzy: I wouldn't be too sure your church doesn't preach hate if your liturgy is not gender-inclusive. Think about it - is God really a "He" or a "Father"? Those are some images or visions of ...

[Doyle] From Dixie, With Love
Goldenae: I would truly be ashamed of myself if I looked at life and others the way the some people do. Some folks can not put themselves in another person's shoes to save their lives. It is ...
