HALLOWEEN HAS NOTHING ON VETS JOURNEY HOME!
My first ever talk on VETERANS JOURNEY HOME is now available to the public! We had over 50 people join us at Starr-King School of Ministry in Berkeley, CA for this kick-off event, amply illustrated with film clips… Thank you again Dr. Lettini and the whole SKSM team for hosting! We now have over 30 clips from the film available for viewing on YouTube. Have you watched them yet? We also recently created two new resources pages for the project: one listing informative articles, books, and other media, the other listing supportive people, places, and programs we know and like. Check them out!
OUR CAMPAIGN TO FUND PHASE 1 OF VETERANS JOURNEY HOME…
…is going gangbusters! Thank you for responding to the call for our $10k challenge! We’re now over $13k so our $10k match will be met. We’ve also received an additional $5k challenge, effectively putting us over $28k – most of the way to our $40k goal! You can still join in and help!
TRACY SEELEY PUBLIC MEMORIAL UNIV. OF SAN FRANCISCO 9/14
For those of you who wanted to attend but couldn’t, for those of you who knew her but knew little of her rich and generous campus life, and for those of you who never knew her period, but who’ll appreciate what a radiant, transformative presence she was in her brief walk on this planet. You’ll find my speech at the very end…
JOIN OUR BOARD!
Our Treasurer just stepped down. (Though you wouldn’t have to assume that role.) This is a great opportunity for documentary film lovers, social change agents, people that really want to make a difference in the world of art and society. See what it takes to join our Board.
