Some of you may have seen parts of the contents of this blog-entry before.  Perhaps, a few have seen nearly all of it.  At this time, I'm putting several items of interest together in hopes that you will check them out--whether or the first time or at other times--and will share this blog with others who might find any, some, or all of them of personal interest.

Some of the items I'm sharing also include links to my profile pages at various places, but I hope I don't come across as some kind of spoiled brat because of this.

This is just one way that I can network not only for myself  (After all,  I'm important enough to be featured, too, as I'm not yesterday's garbage of something!  LOL)  but, also, for others I know who get talked about/get shown on various friends/contacts lists and, in some places, have connections leading to their profiles, writings, etc.

Thanks, in advance, for reading and sharing.  As promised, here come the kitty cat and puppy dog.  I know they're adorable, but please read the message as well as melting over these little angels...

 Please?

Please take the time to read what I've written about homeless and/or otherwise at-risk youth so as to get a better understanding of their reality...

After you have done this, please at least go to take a look at a petition we're hoping to send to President Obama with at least 1000 signatures--and, hopefully, end up signing it.  Although just your signature would be enough, leaving a comment re: your observations of why this is so important would put some extra oomph! into making this an effective petition.

Finally, please pass this message on to at least five other people and ask them to do the same.

Hello!

Are you familiar with our organization (Invisible Youth Network), which was officially launched on March 26, 2007 for the purpose of reaching out to homeless youth.  If not, you might want to become familiar with us by visiting our main website:

http://invisibleyouthnetwork.net

At this time, we are encourage teens and young adults to work together with faculty/staff at their high school and college campuses in the establishment of chapters of the Invisible Youth Network, which will get your students involved in worthwhile civic activities. 

There is no fee to pay for starting a chapter, and we will give you whatever support you will need to both get started and maintain a chapter, along with being available to answer any questions you might have, now and later.

 

It's been our experience in the past that we can count on our youth to bring a lot of insight and enthusiasm into our organization, so we're anxious to hear back from you so that we can get started. 


The Invisible Youth Network supports the leaders of tomorrow by partnering with them today!
 
Teens can bring refreshing insights into our organization. What we forget is that some of the greatest minds in the world were teens when they came up with their great ideas.
 
So, shouldn't youth as young people have a voice in issues that directly concern them? They will not mysteriously learn how to fulfill their civic duties the day
they turn 18. They are a large presence in our community and accordingly, they should have a voice in its decision-making. And, shouldn't adults recognize that
the tradition of making decisions for youth without youth has failed and that their ideas and solutions need to be taken seriously?
 
In addition Youth are 28% of the United States population, are active participants in community activities, spend more than $150 billion a year and
are 100% of the future.
