For seven years members of The Coalition, Inc. have 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

The opportunity to become a member of The Coalition Board of Directors
is here again. Members are elected to one-year terms beginning in
January or June. We will be accepting nominations for four additional
board members and to fill any vacated seats to be considered in our
June 2011 elections. So if working with some of the most progressive
minds ever come together for a single cause appeals to you, please
send all nominations with resume’/bio to The.Pa.Coalition@gmail.com.
Place ‘Nomination’ in the subject line.

McVeigh and Christy Recreation Ctrs. Lancaster, 60th Street and

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.

This year we are asking that on Saturday, July 30th 12 noon, every
organization, block and concerned business participate by releasing
symbolic Balloons of Peace and offering prayer in memory of those lost
to the epidemic of violence in our communities.

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 of
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

who the people revere. The great leader is he who the people say, 'We
did it ourselves.'  - Lao Tzu
