Hi. are you Leslie Hunt's boss ? Glad to see that you stepped in to close the hanging in SP story. I dont understand why the headline could not be changed from hanging to suicide.

Great article on volunteer opportunities for teens! You might be interested in what promises to be a fascinating inside view of the Juvenile Justice System in Anne Arundel County. Master Cynthia Ferris will discuss the philosophy of our juvenile justice system, common myths about the system, the demographics of the children she sees and how they have changed during her time on the bench, disturbing new trends and of particular interest, the types of measures she feels may get to the root of the problem.

This event is hosted by Anne Arundel Women Giving Together -- a women's giving circle -- and will be held on Wednesday, October 12 from 8:00AM to 9:30AM in room 308 at Maryland Hall. You can register online at www.givingtogether.com under "Upcoming Events". This educational session is free and open to the public. Hope to see you there!
Best,

Susan,
I want to see if we can get some help from our community to provide gift cards for the teen foster children in the county. Balanced Life Skills and Indian Creek School have joined forces this holiday season with the Dept. of Human Services and Foster Families org. to provide Christmas gifts for the foster kids. Our real push now is gift cards for the teens of which there are about 110 teens from 13 - 20 years of age.

Here is a link to our site and more information: http://www.balancedlifeskills.com/home/2010/11/18/a-call-for-help-this-christmas.html

Thank you for any help you may be able to give. PS. I love the Patch concept!!
