CiCi's Pizza fundraising in the cold, blustery winter

Lisa (D-P), Katrina, Randi and Shelby, held a fund raiser at CiCi's Pizza last night despite the wintery weather. They are raising money to help cover expenses to a national conference they are planning to attend in Washington DC at the end of the month (the National Network 4 Youth's symposium). We are so excited that we will have a STRONG youth representative at such a national conference on the issues facing youth (focusing on runaway and homeless youth). There will be more fundraising going on this month, as well as pooling and piecing training funds from various budget sources. This will be an exciting adventure for these young women, and Lisa is thriving on the opportunities to gain more training and exposure to national resources for our transitional living programming. I attended this symposium many years ago, and can vouch for its value for the participants. With this lively crew you can believe they will also have some great adventures in the nation's capital!!! If you would like to just make a specific donation to help fund this great youth leadership opportunity, just let us know!!!
