Thank you for your consideration. s:a~, 40v- it-A k ~ tt~~~ ~ f:; r- Donnie Elomina Coach-9U Division '- SAMUEL'S HOUSE, Inc. '---"' The Mary Spottswood Women's Center "Speak Lord, for your servant is listening" 1 Samuel 3:9 ~; , .9 cfta . Dear Partner: Kelly* was eight months pregnant and sleeping in the back of the old van she called home when the police discovered her late one night. She was frightened then. But when a officer told her she'd have to give up her baby the day it was born she became terrified. If Kelly didn't find a safe haven, her newborn would be immediately taken from her - perhaps forever. Like many homeless and desperate mothers, Kelly chose to seek refuge at Samuel's House. In the last six months alone, II pregnant women delivered healthy babies in . our care while taking vital steps to become physically and mentally well again. More than 18 other women arrived with as many as six children each in tow. And the number of pregnant women and mothers with children who arrive in tremendous need continues to climb. Now you can help Kelly and dozens like her by supporting our Adopt a Mom campaign. Why are we asking for your help? You see, the state and county fund only a tiny portion of the expenses for adult women - nothing for children. Each homeless child costs $75 a day to shelter - that's $6,750 when they spend 90 days with us. There's no funding to feed or house the children and infants except through your donations. We're writing to you because you've been a valued supporter of Samuel's House in the past. Please, in celebration of Mother's Day this year, won't you make a generous contribution to support the mothers and their children who need it the most? When you contribute to the Adopt a Mom campaign, you 'II join a special group of donors and be kept up to date on the progress of mothers and their children at Samuel's house. Contribute $1000 or more and receive a recognition plaque for display in your business or home. No matter the size of your contribution, you'll know your dollars are going toward helping women put their lives and families back together - and ~.e~ping newborns from entering an overloaded foster care system. "F. : v.~r..' Please celebrate Mother's Day by giving all you can to support the homeless mothers and their children in our care.

Some of our former students continue to thrive, and have been able to turn their lives around with the skills learned in art aass. It was a pleasure to see you share the stage with Candy Mense when she graduated from FKCC with honors in addiction therapy studies... need I say more?

Admission is $50 per person and can be reserved by calling 304-4772 or going to www.artbehindbars.org. Founded and headed Lynne Vantrlglla, Art Behind Bars' mission is to give inmates an opportunity to contribute to society through the donation of artwork to nonprofit organizations locally and nationally. In this manner, artwork valued at $91,000 has been donated to 360 diverse groups since 1994. In addition, many inmates use the skills they acquire in art class to help transform their lives upon release. The program based at the Monroe County Detention Center on Stock Island has served almost 7,000 students in its 14 years. Though based in Key West, it puts out a nationwide call for inmate art and has received works from inmates In 30 states and Thailand. Art Behind Bars supporters also mentor former inmates making the difficult transition back into society after release through their Art After Bars project. Access to art-making while in jail can vastly improve the likelihood for successful re-entry, and helps to break the cycle of recidivism by improving inmate self esteem, lowering stress, and improving communication skills. "The most exciting aspects of Art Behind Bars, besides the artwork itself, are the transformative effects of art-making on those people who participate, and the huge volume of community service projects possible," Vantriglia says. http://keynoter.comJartic1es/2008/03/01Ilattitudesllat01.txt 5/15/2008 BEHIND BARS PROGRESSIVE "CELL BLOCK" GALLERY WALK Friday, March 7th, 2008 1200 to 1000 Blocks on Duval SI. 6-8 pm View selected Artwork at: Lucky Street Gallery Joy Gallery McKibben Studios Fine Art Gallery Monkey Apple Art Factory Cocktails & Hors d'oeuvre. 8-10 pm Party at Square One Food, libations, silent auction & door prizes Music by: Bongo D $50 per person all proceeds benefit ART BEHIND BARS For more information, please visit our website at: www.artbehindbars.org or phone (305)-304-4772 Celebrating Food by: Duval Street Square One Truman Avenue Eaton St. Seafood Julia Street our La-Te-Da Square Monkey Apple. .One Exotic Fusion Art Factory 1,OOOth NY Pizza Cafe Virginia Street McKibben Amelia Street .
