| Scholarships are plentiful if you take time to find them!!! Click here to see what I found in 1 HOUR - From Workshop!!! |
| - The EP21 Website has become quite busy over the past two years and is in need of a "make over". I'm really busy with other paperwork, but I know that our website is the first introduction of EP21 to many of our supporters, so I will make it more user-friendly. My laptop has been in the shop for 2-weeks so I'm still waiting for it to be returned before I update the sites or documents therein. - Print out the Teenformation Newsletters and the Timeline on the homepage and then post them on your REFRIGERATOR! |
| 1. Opportunities are emailed to me periodically. I share them all with you so you can decide early whether or not you want to take advantage of them. Click here to see what opportunities EP21 parents and teens are sharing with the group! I'll try to always put the newest entries up front. |
| 2. EP21 has been selected for an award, so I'm going to accept it on behalf of our teens. When I get an award, WE get an award. Please let Kathy know if you can make it our not and ask to sit at my table, if possible. See the email excerpt below for details: Kathy Clay-Little <kathyrclaylittle@yahoo.com> wrote: Nippy, You might want to announce that you will receive the Frederick Douglass Emancipator Award at the June 12 (might be the 13th) 10th Annual Juneteenth Freedom Dinner (6:30 - 9:30pm). The award is presented to individuals/ organizations whose work, commitment and advocacy will help others move to a higher level than they might have otherwise. The dinner will be at the Little Carver Civic Center. If anyone wants tickets/tables, they can reach me at this e-mail (Kathy Clay-Little <kathyrclaylittle@yahoo.com>) or call 663-4218. TELL HER YOU WANT TO SIT AT THE EP21 TABLE, if possible. |
