Dear Safe Schools Coalition Members and Friends:
 
Hi, everyone,
 
The leadership team is optimistic having discussed and reviewed the budget including the amount of labor and donations/dues that individuals and agencies have committed so far for 2013.  
Together we will make our final decision regarding the future of the Coalition at the next Coalition meeting. This meeting will be held – as usual on the 3rd Tuesday -- on November 20th, 2012 at 3pm.  It is imperative that we keep in mind that there is still a great need for labor and financial help moving forward. 
In order to continue this Coalition we will need everyone to step up and decide how as a member you will personally be able to contribute. We look forward to seeing you (or talking with you by conference call) on November 20th to continue the discussion of the future of this wonderful coalition and sharing plans for strategic planning and hearing what you can contribute moving forward.
The meeting is at Planned Parenthood on Capitol Hill: 2001 E Madison, Seattle, WA. Or for call-in information, contact November meeting chair, Mo Lewis mlewis@kcsarc.org.
If are unable to join us at the meeting on November 20th, please send your ideas and feedback to the November meeting chair, Mo Lewis mlewis@kcsarc.org.  
In solidarity,
Kathryn Korch, Beth Reis, Kathy Sakahara, Gabi Clayton, and Alec Clayton
for the Safe Schools Coalition’s 2012 & 2013 Leadership Team
