It is never too early to make plans relative to helping children in need. Though 2010 is rapidly coming to a close I want to let everyone know that 2011 is already taking shape!
Next year we will continue to work with both New Orleans and Chicago Public Schools. The $5000.00 grant from the Joe W. and Dorothy Brown Dorsett Foundation, in part, will allow SCC to go back to New Orleans for a sixth consecutive year. With regard to CPS schools, it is the intent of SCC to work with up to 30 schools next fall. This is a sizeable increase from the aid rendered this past year. It is exciting to be able to work with students and staff so close to home.
There may very well be some events planned around raising funds for Haitian relief as the January 12th earthquake anniversary approaches.
As events unfold relative to fundraising, events that people can participate in, picking up supplies, loading trucks, and delivering supplies I will be sure to keep you informed. There will certainly be plenty of opportunities for you to pitch in and help.
As always, the success of this charity depends on you and your kind and generous efforts, all of which are apparent to me each and every day. Please let me know of your ideas in terms of extending our outreach and effectiveness.
Many thanks,
Dick
