Prairie Horizons sponsored a Youth Philanthropy/Leadership Information Meeting on May 22nd at St. Gertrude monastery’s Spirit Center. Mike Beebe, Director of Penny Harvest Seattle spoke on the Penny Harvest Program. This is a year-round, service-learning program that engages students of all ages in community building, education and leadership. Throughout the year, students gather pennies (coins), make grants and take action in philanthropy, service, and leadership. As a result of this meeting, the Cottonwood School District is considering the adoption of the Penny Harvest Program. Their mission is, “To raise a new generation of informed, capable, and caring young citizens by turning pennies into dollars, and dollars into deeds. We celebrate and thank all of those who participated in making this program a possibility for our community. Be sure to mark your calendars for the Quad Cities Town Hall Meeting which will take place on Tuesday, June 10th 7:00-9:00 PM. Everyone is invited and refreshments will be served. The Horizons Action Teams will share with everyone what has been taking place since our rally in October of 2007. This lively event will be an excellent time to get updates on Prairie Horizons, regroup with committees you were/are interested in, get questions answered, and sign up for some of the interesting projects that are being formulated. We hope to see many of you there to celebrate and continue making the Quad Cities vision a reality for everyone. |
