once again, i find myself behind in my blogging! it has beena few since my last chat, but felt it was time to update our few loyal followers..
big things in the works, the best is that we now have an OFFICIAL accountant, for the Foundation. who, in turn, promptly told me we need an attorney... AAAHHHH! anybody know a fair lawyer,with non profit experience,
willing to work for peanuts? if so please contact me!
2nd big news is the upcoming car show, in Tremont City, on Labor Day weekend. this is our 1rst real outting, to raise both awareness, and funds! be sure to spread the word, and come visit us! lots of cool stuff to bid one, of buy a raffle ticket for, withmore comin in by the day. Big thanks to all the fine folks willing to help us out here.
today, we made a run to the Family Abuse Shelter in Troy, to take a cehck form some of our donors who requested it go directly to them. john and lolori,, we can do this without great "Friends" like you. while in troy, stopped by to see our old "Friends" @ the Miami County Pros office. they had a bag of back to school goodies we then dropped off at the shelter...this is what we do, people..
holidays are comin, and lots of people suffering who need our help. i know how tight cash is, but your time is free, and we can also us more volunteers. sometimes, just a "Friend" to listen is all someone needs... could it be you?
as usual, we love to hear from you, drop us a note in any of the ways listed in the website...
till then, i remain, your "Friend"

Hollywood -- It was great to meet you Sunday (9-11) standing up in horor of those whose lives have been cut short of other's actions. I too, as you learned, am an unwilling member of the murdered family member's club. My son -- Ethan J.D. Kline Walton was taken just days after Brandon. I remember watching the coverage about your family. I was so saddened by the reckless nature of it all. After we got home I pin-pointed who your family was to my daughter, the one you met, she too remembers ... so see... Brandon shall not be forgotten. Not forgotten. And Bless you and the Foundation for doing your part to make others aware.

i thank you for the kind words, but the love and respect goes out to yourself, my sister, and all our fellow members of this terible group we were forced to join. as we heard yesterday during the tribute, the victims of 9/11 are not unlike us, infact, we are the same. both have lost loved ones, to violent situation beyond our control. i pray for a resolution to your situation, and invite you and your family to join us in helping others get through the same tragic events. .
