PSN Meeting next Monday

An e-mail I received today from PSN coordinator Frank Cloyd...

Good morning everyone!

Our next Project Safe Neighborhoods Meeting will be MONDAY February 25 at 6:00PM. in Porter Activity Center at Central United Methodist Church, 200 East Marion St., Shelby, NC.

Come in the back door of our church, and this is the auditorium at the first door on the left.

Our meeting with High Point Community Against Violence was inspiring to all seven of us who went last Wednesday morning. We are already doing much of what they are doing; but, I think we need their formal structure to effectively contribute such things for released prison ex-offenders as job placement, job training apprenticeships, job creation, rental assistance oversight, continuing education, mentoring. We will receive some model examples for Community Against Violence programs being used in North Carolina.

The actual Call-In Session for released prison ex-offenders was discussed at the High Point meeting. We were energized to see all of the community involvement, and the unity of purpose to make High Point a safer place to live and work.

AGENDA:

(1) Jeff Ledford will present the PSN Youth programs for 2008.

(2) Report on our trip to High Point.

(3) Ramblewood update.

(4) Need for chairperson of our West Shelby Community Garden.

Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend our meeting.

Hope you all feel the positive way that "things are coming together" in Shelby!

Thanks,
Frank
