ANGELS

I was invited to attend a meeting with Diane Manuel, Emily Graves, Christine Battista and representatives from Safe Children's Coalition (the agency responsible for implementing foster care until July 1 when Eckerd Youth Alternatives takes over). Eckerd Youth Alternatives was founded by Jack and Ruth Eckerd, who both recently passed away. Anyways, just FYI, Ruth was one of our members.

Don't worry, the people we met with will still be there--their employer will just change. It was a productive and passionate meeting. We discussed DIAD and other short term project needs. I know that Community ANGELS committee will put together a great plan for this upcoming year. The committee has been charges with implementing DIAD/DIAMs, short term projects and investigating a long-term project for our league. As you all know, and probably don't need a reminder, but community projects takes all of us to make successful!!!

Thanks for inviting me to tag along!!
