FRIENDS OF LEDDY PARK HOLD CLEAN UP DAY:Thanks to all of the Friends of Leddy Park who came out November 15 to help clean up Leddy Park. It was a very successful day. A total of 11 volunteers collected 14 bags of trash and a large amount of metal/junk and blankets. In addition a group of people worked on trail maintenance and a large piece of metal was removed from the trail and braces were put in place to bank up the sloped trail for future dirt or gravel deposit. What a difference a day can make when a dedicated group of park enthusiasts donates their time and energy - thank you volunteers!
The SISTA Project has changed Organizations! You knew us before as Woman of Color Alliance, but WOCA has now closed. We have started a new Organization under which to run SISTA. SISTA United Alliance is not just our organization, it’s YOUR organization. Help grow your community by participating, volunteering, donating or whatever you can do to contribute. We are branching out and have many new programs for you to take advantage of but we need you.
To anyone who can provide childcare, we at SISTA are always in need of a provider. Contact Kinda Sharp-Garrett at our new number 660-4875.
Be a SISTA volunteer! It is a great experience and a chance to meet new people and do a great service to the community.
Here is your chance! If you haven’t yet been a part of our SISTA sessions, BE A PART OF SISTA! It is a growing program and we need more participants. This is a program for women of color that discusses relationships, dating and safe sex. Sisters connect with sisters on building self-esteem skills, developing life experiences with coping skills and developing safer sex methods. We provide good food, exciting games/activities, door prizes and valuable information plus child care and transportation if needed. Call Kinda Sharp-Garrett at 660-4875 or email sistaunited@yahoo.com to set up an interview. Call soon and become a SISTA!
You can add to the SISTA experience. If you have either African art or art made by Black women, such as yourself, that you may want to donate to SISTA let us know. We could always use more supplies and volunteers to join us.
If you have any news or information on events contact us to let us know. We can all do our part to inform each other.
If you have family photos or any poems that you want to share, email them to us and we will include them in an issue of SISTA UNITED VOICES.
Feedback: Write us at sistaunited@yahoo.com with your feedback and let us know what you think. We will include your comments in our next issue.
