Subject: Friday 22 April 2011 News From The Coalition, Inc.


Greetings Friends and Members of The Coalition, Inc.,

The Eighth Annual Weekend Of Peace will be held on July 29th through
31st 2011 at various locations (TBA). This event, occurring annually
since it’s humble beginning in 2004 as an invitational citywide youth
basketball tournament, brings healthy alternatives to violence in its
myriad of forms (physical; economic; educational; health; sexual;
environmental; self-inflicted... et al) to people and communities who
may otherwise not be aware of these resources, or know how to gain
access. This free-to-the-community event is open to all entities who
wish to offer positive programs and services to our communities
intended to promote better personal, family, community and global
health. We encourage all who value life to participate.

This is an invitation for your organization/institution/business to
participate in this ambitious project. We invite you to contribute in
whatever way you can, we also invite you to take advantage of our
broad platform and set up an exhibit outlining your services to the
community at one of our many event locations. Contributors and
Coalition members: free; Non-contributing businesses: (fee to be
determined). We reserve the right to determine which services are
healthy to the community.

Coalition members are particularly urged to be involved as The
Coalition, Inc. came into being as a direct result of community
leaders “Communicating, Cooperating and Collaborating” to provide safe
activities and a sense of purpose to our youth. This is not a one
weekend a year event. Programs are launched in recognition of
community needs, and existing programs are brought to the attention to
those people whom they are designed to serve. To join The Coalition,
obtain a Pledge of Commitment by sending request via email
The.Pa.Coalition@gmail.com or calling 215.387.2734 to request one via
traditional mail.

For seven years members of The Coalition, Inc. has been working to
build a network for community groups to increase their efficiency,
effectiveness and visibility. We created News From The Coalition, Inc.
to be a news organ to maintain communication, promote cooperation and
inspire collaboration among entities who have the same goals. Since
then we have become international, we wish that all information
pertinent to the betterment of families and communities world wide be
accessible to all the groups concerned. In the same spirit we have
created The Coalition E-group to share information that may not make
it to the weekly E-newsletter.

Please accept this invitation and use this group to share your projects and
concerns with other members and the general public.
Access to The Coalition E-Group can be gained at

“WAKE UP everyday seeing it as another opportunity to rewrite history.
This is another day to renew your commitment towards perfection and
excellence. Remember there are many challenges, obstacles and people
working against YOU, but nothing is more damaging and destructive then
you working against yourSELF. YOU are the only thing stopping YOU from
becoming a better YOU.”  - Carlos Muhammad
