Tom and Jimmy,

I appreciate the invite to the GLYC meeting. It was very nice to meet everyone. I could tell that the organization is genuinely intersted in not only promoting our sport to young people, but alsooffering them an insight into another hobby, away from the street and idleness.

Mosthere don't know thatI am a counselor whom works with childrenthat have come under the protection of the State.All of my clientsare victims of Abuse, Neglect, or Abandonment. Some of my kids are never going back "home."Most live in group homes, or other foster care environments. I have seperated siblings as well. Several children under my caseload are jumping at this oppurtunity. This Event will be a lifelong memory for not only the children, but for all of us as well.

For those who are considering offering their support for this event I would also like to thank you. With the ever shrinking budget, and more cut backs looming, oppurtunities like this are truly golden. Again thanks to all, and I look forward to our progress.
