I was also thinking on soliciting don ations from our community to purchase these community centers to give our youth and seniors the continued services that they are receiving. I need your help, support, and prayers as we save our community. I kno w that some of you are not in the Springs, but this is where you grew up. If you are interested in hearing more, please contact me.\n\n~Tara ya Bland\n719-310-4992\n\nNext phase of Operation Save Our Community C enters is that I need three registered voters to become apart of the c ommittee. The committee will present the initiative to the Deputy Cler k for the City to see if we can get approved to collect signatures. On ce we collect 300 signatures the initiative will be voted on by City C ouncil. If they vote yes then it will go on the next ballot. In the me antime, I need a persistent person to get in touch with Penelope Culbr eth-Graft; she is the City Planner 719-385-5900. We need to talk with her regarding the purchase of Hillside and Deerfield Hills Community C enters in the event they close. I have talked to Donna Williams about having a Community Account at Security Service Federal Credit Union. C ommunity members will be able to make donations to the account at thei r own discretion. I have contacted Aaron Smith of the Pittsburg Steele rs regarding a donation. He is a Sierra High School graduate and grew up in the Deerfield Hills community. So we need to solicit as much hel p as possible. I have great media connections, which will help us. I w ill contact the Gay & Lesbian Fund on possibly getting a matching dona tion towards this effort. Let plan to meet January 20th at 6:00pm at t he Sand Creek Library.\n\nYours in the Movement,\nTaraya Bland\n719-31 0-4992\nblandsclerical@yahoo.com\nTaraya@blandsclericalservice.com\n\n For more information visit https://blackbeatproduct.ning.com/events/am ended-save-our-community DTSTART;TZID=America/Dawson_Creek:20100111T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Dawson_Creek:20100131T004500 CATEGORIES:planning LOCATION:taraya@blandsclericalservice.com WEBSITE: URL: CONTACT:(719) 310-4992 ORGANIZER:Taraya Bland ATTACH;FMTTYPE="image/jpeg":http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/ file/get/1675538777?profile=original ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Juanita Martin":https://blackbeatproduct.ning.com/profile/JuanitaMartin END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
