Nelson Mandela Quotes
My Favorites

"For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others."

"If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart."


"Our human compassion binds us the one to the other, not in pity or patronizingly, but as human beings who have learned how to turn our common suffering into hope for the future."

"Let freedom reign. The sun never set on so glorious a human achievement."♥


We Salute You President Mandela

How To Promote Your Non-Profit Event

Form a committee to promote the event. Discuss ideas of how to promote without spending a lot of money.

When I was 11 years old, I used to sell Christmas And All Occasion Cards, etc. door to door. This is no longer practical and I looked for a decent wholesaler but the all occasion card business isn't what it used to be in 1961. Although you could google Wholesale Christmas All Occasion Cards and see if anything appeals to you as good for fund raising sales.

Decide how much you can spend on advertising and what is available for free. Produce fliers and distribute them. You can mail them out, post them on bulletin boards or hand them out.

Make tickets that you can sell for the event. Many people will buy tickets, even if they are unable to attend the event.

Submit the event information to any and all community calendars. Generally, there is no charge for this service.

Use the internet to announce the event.
If you send an email to your friends and they send an email to their friends, the word will get out to a lot of extra individuals.

Ask local businesses to sponsor your event.  If they provide the money, they can write it off as an advertising expense and you can promote their generosity along with your event.

Publicity For Your Organization & Event
Publicity goes hand in hand with promotion, but it also goes a step further. 
Radio station and local television promotions reach the greatest audience.  Contact program directors about running promotional messages and the possibility of broadcasts from your event. 

Take lots of pictures during your event. These will make great press releases and thank-you mementos for sponsors. 

Always, always send thank-yous to your sponsors and promoters.  Send them directly to the sponsor and put thank-yous in the local newspapers.  Not only will it give your event more publicity, it will show your sponsors your appreciation of their generosity. 

Keep your organization in the news. Send press releases every time something happens in your organization, no matter how trivial it may seem. The more you get your name out there, the more people will rally around your cause.♥♥♥

Assisting Jews in the Former Soviet Union since 1975

The Adopt a Bubbe (or Zayde) program reaches out to elderly Jews and the handicapped in Ukraine and Belarus.

"Action" recruits coordinators who know their Jewish community, and asks them to find the most vulnerable Jewish retirees who need help. Many live on their own in poor conditions and some are unable to leave their homes.

With "Action" funds, coordinators purchase and deliver fresh fruits, vegetables, cheese and meats directly to their homes. When needed, "Action" has also provided eyeglasses or hearing aids, a lamp to read by, or coal for heat in the winter months.

One could almost say that; Action For Post-Soviet Jewry, works with clients one shovel or one fresh chicken, or one pair of eyeglasses at a time.

I have no association with this organization. I just think it's a great charity.

The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP)


In NJ everyone financially eligible gets the heating assistance, but if one gets a doctors note saying it's medically necessary they can also get cooling (electric assistance), in the hot summer weather. Check out what your state offers. Apply Now.

I applied a month ago. I get it every year so they send me a notice when it's time to apply again. Benefits are on a first come first serve basis, so the next few weeks is the latest time to apply for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP).

September is usually the best time to make an appointment to apply.

Apply as soon as possible; every year, although there is still time to apply. My state accepts applications through November. But don't wait.

HUD Housing Choice Vouchers Fact Sheet

What are housing choice vouchers?

The housing choice voucher program is the federal government's major program for assisting very low-income families, the elderly, and the disabled to afford decent, safe, housing in the private market. Since housing assistance is provided on behalf of the family or individual, participants are able to find their own housing, including single-family homes, townhouses and apartments.

For President Obama and Family You're all Beautiful!

I Want To Tell President Obama That He's doing A Great Job!
I heard that he likes good music. Another thing we have in common.

I know he's on a Mission to bring the world into the 21st century.
the world seems to have lost our ability to communicate with each other!

And that I'm fired up, I'm ready to help the world change their lives.

George Orwell called it in his book 1984. He even gave us a time frame. It wasn't hard for him to imagine this book. His world in Europe was already like that.
It is a new world today. Although it has been very oppressive out there even after the enlightened thinking of the sixties!
The hippies came and went, they got tired of being bludgeoned to death Literally But while it lasted we did good.

We made a dent in the politics of the time. And with the help of teachers, like Dr. King, Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, and many others, who paved the road for us, my generation left our stamp on History.
It can happen again we just have to get people educated. Education is the key to success. Knowledge is Power! If you control a Persons thoughts you control them!

Art and literature are the road map for the development of mankind

The more you read the smarter you get. It's a scientific fact. It stimulates the brain and helps it grow.

We all learn from each other. I'm no brain, but I've seen and read about life. It gave me a foundation to base my opinions and actions on. Experience is a great teacher but It takes too long. An education teaches one about the experiences of others. And Art; well Art, is what brought the world out of the dark ages. and music is the history of the world!
Change will happen. You are the kind of President who can bring this about because you are very well educated. Knowledge is Power!

I just wanted to say that you and (Delaware) Joe, (I love Vice Pres Biden, I'm from NJ so I know how cool he is) are doing a great job!

I know you are an honest man! I can see it by looking at you. I'm old, I've been around. I've seen everything, I know a lot. I don't live in La La Land! I know the streets. Ran them long enough. I want to help today's kids because there is absolutely no reason they should be shooting and killing each other.

Ok if they don't like school your idea of a year of vocational training is brilliant. Everybody has some talent. Something they excel at. The trick is finding and developing it! The young people of America are our future and too beautiful to die young from unnecessary things like drugs and violence!

Good luck with the medical coverage plan. I think that the public option, giving people a chance to get coverage from companies like Blue Cross is a great idea. By the time it is finished, you will work out something that makes everyone happy.

I know that you took this job; not for glory or money, but because you wanted to help people! You know that American's really need good medical coverage. Anyway it costs more in the long run if people can't afford to go to a doctor. They just get sicker and need additional care.

On Inauguration day you told everyone that you loved us. Thank you so much.
I've never had a President who said I love you before. We love you back, President Obama and Family

Right after you first got elected, I had a dream that you, Michelle and I were standing on a side street off Ocean Avenue in Jersey City, NJ
You said, You must come to dinner sometime.
I knew then that you all are caring, down to earth people!

We Love You too, Vice President Biden and Family You're the man!

Thank You Pres Obama, Democratic Congress, And Everyone who is working to end violence in America. This is one of our biggest issues. We have to fix our cities and towns.

Anyone who proposes any further budget cuts; (hint, republicans) are really not taking the nations best interest to heart.
