THE YOUTH SAY THANK YOU!
Thank you to all those who donated so that every youth that was able can attend our end of the Year Retreat in Los Angeles, California scheduled for July 1-5.  It is said that there are some angels that walk among us in human form – to all who donated and wanted to donate – we just want you to know that we can see your wings.  Thanks so much!
