Chapter Fourteen--Where Do I Begin?

Things have been so busy that I've barely had time to catch my breath--not just with IYN but with other parts of my life, as well.

But I'm going to try to catch you up just a little...

For starters, here's our latest wish list when it comes to what kind of donations to make.

The first type of donations concern what can be sent by snail-mail/land delivery to:

Invisible Youth Network
c/o Russell T. Hartsaw
940 Park Blvd. Suite #334
San Diego
California
92101

Backpacks
Bedrolls
Bottled Drinks (Non-Alcoholic and non-carbonated)
Gift Cards,--especially Burger King, Jack in The Box, McDonalds and Wendy's.
Food Items (Non-Perishable Snack Food)
Personal Care Items (e.g. combs, travel-sized toothbrush & toothpaste kits, deodorant, travel sized lotion, Chapstick, sanitary napkins, nail clippers)
Hats (Stocking Type)
Hooded Sweatshirts
Hotel Vouchers
Meal Vouchers
Sox
Water Bottles

IMPORTANT: No clothing items in red or blue, as that has a good chance of being mistaken for gang identification and could prove to be dangerous for the wearer.

The second kind of donations are cash donations to various parts of our organization.

I could take you to the page with all of the details without going to a middle spot. However, I'm pretty proud of the poem I wrote about this, and I think it will put you into a happy mood.

Besides, you will also find (contained in the lines of the poem) other ways to help us out.

So, without further ado, I'll just ask you to click here to take you to the poem.

One more thing...

Russell has finally come up with a description of me that tells what I contribute to IYN: Vice-Chairman of Media Relations.

Works for me!

And, so, I've made up a new sig-block that includes that.

The first part of it stays the same, but the graphic at the bottom can be changed to fit the time of year, etc.

Here it is (or as close as I can get to it taking in regards the changes from how it posts here as compared to how it posts with my e-mail...
