Greetings Coalition Family!
The media, politicians and all others, embarrassed by the worldwide ‘Occupy’
phenomena, are calling for an agenda to legitimize protestor’s demands. I see this
as another ploy to discredit and dismiss the outcry of the people. This demand is
another smokescreen. As an elected official, if you do not know the things that are
negatively affecting your constituency, you are dangerously out of touch. Hell, you
are most likely complicit in the intentional cause of the situations that have
awakened the future of the middle class, and re-energized the disenfranchised
worldwide. How can you have your foot on someone’s neck and not know what their
complaint is? The agenda is EVERYTHING! Everything you are responsible for that
rips off the taxpayer! And if you are so inured in the garbage that you do not know
what the fresh air of reality smells like, then quit so an honest person can take your
place. Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness are GOD given and cannot be
denied indefinitely. Ed. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly
inadequate to the government of any other. - John Adams “We each hold a piece to the puzzle.” – Dr. John Elliott Churchville “Communicate… Cooperate… Collaborate” FOR OUR CHILDREN
“It is easier to build children than it is to repair men.”…Frederick Douglass Cap4Kids Hint of the Week Almost 1 in 10 children in America meet the definition of a Child with Special Health
Care Needs (CSHCN). To help with the myriad of organizations that are committed
to help families, educators, and health care professionals find resources in Philly to
serve families with CSHCN, the www.cap4kids.org/philadelphia website has a
handout dedicated to Special Needs/Autism
(http://www.cap4kids.org/philadelphia/parent_handouts/special_needs_autism.html).
Please become familiar with these resources as well as on the Helpful Links tab,
the PA Medical Home site and initiatives (http://www.pamedicalhome.org/). Free nicotine patches? Check. Text messages for free family planning clinics?
Check. Texts for smoking cessation? Check. Listings for dentists that accept
Medicaid? Check. Dental handouts for kids with special needs? Check. Eye care
resources? Check. And more. Check out the Physical Health handout on Cap4Kids
(http://www.cap4kids.org/philadelphia/parent_handouts/physical_health_resources.html) and help families connect with these resources to help improve their health. As a reminder, on the www.cap4kids.org/philadelphia website, under the
Food/Nutrition/Breastfeeding Handout
(http://www.cap4kids.org/philadelphia/parent_handouts/food_nutrition_breastfeeding.html), you will find a listing of various resources for food in Philadelphia
including: Income Based Food Programs; Emergency Food Resources; and
Community Fresh Food Resources. Please use these resources to help families in need. ----- Coalition members! Activate ‘Your’web link on The Coalition, Inc. web site ----- PARENTS MAYBE THIS CAN HELP YOU School Discipline Advocacy Service (SDAS) The cross-campus collaboration of

support. THIS WEEK First Friday - Throughout the city It began in 1991 by the Old City Arts Association as a collaborative open house. First Friday is one of Philadelphia's most unique
cultural experiences. Held the first Friday night of each month, rain or shine, year-round. This art community “open house” brings together city dwellers and suburbanites, contemporary arts and antique collectors,
aficionados of classical and contemporary design, and theater and performance buffs. The welcoming informality of First Friday attracts crowds of casual browsers as well as serious buyers to each festive event,
featuring dozens of Old City’s galleries and shops hosting exhibition receptions or just open for your perusal and enjoyment. ----- Coalition members!

Activate ‘Your’web link on The Coalition, Inc. web site ----- The Kingsessing Fifth Division Community of Neighbors is a community group, with a core group of block captains, who have been actively
involved in servicing the needs of the residents in our community. This year our
organization sponsored our 2nd annual blanket drive to collect blankets for
members of our community. The name of this project is “Operation Blank Out the Cold.” The goal of this effort is to supply at least one blanket to the more than one hundred
families that will be in need of such a resource. The belief of K5DCN’s is that there
are people such as you, your company, churches, agencies, and other
organizations that would be interested in participating in such a worthy project.
Last year thanks to many such as yourselves we collected 100 blankets. We know
that because of the high cost of energy, and the financial crisis that our country
continues to experience, our neighbors need our help. Due to health reasons we
request that your donations be new blankets. K5DCN also knows that it was
supporters like you who helped us in September 2011 when we gave away 245
schoolbags full of school supplies. 267-432-3829 EMAIL: greg3957ben@aol.com Blankets will be distributed on Saturday 12/03/11 during the Kingsessing Christmas Service at the Kingsessing Recreation Center, located at 49th and Chester Avenue.

Activate ‘Your’web link on The Coalition, Inc. web site ----- GREEN PIECE Banana Peels Can Purify Polluted Drinking Water, Scientists Say Did you hear the one about the chemist and the banana peel? Gustavo Castro, an environmental chemist at Sao Paulo State University, suspected that we might be overlooking valuable properties in the peels. "I have heard for a long time that we usually throw out the best part of the fruit and that most of the nutrients and proteins are in parts not used by us, such as the peels," he told the American Chemical Society in a podcast. "From there, I decided to make an initial experiment to determine the chemical composition of the peel." Castro found that banana peels contain nitrogen, sulfur, and carboxylic acids, which, he noted, bind with positively-charged heavy metals often leached into water from mining or industrial runoff. Since many methods of removing metals from the water are expensive and toxic, Castro thought he might be on to a more natural method of cleaning drinking water. He and his colleagues chopped and dried bits of banana peel and combined them with water from Brazil's polluted Paraná River. The peels stood up to other types of commonly-used filtering products like silica and carbon, and scientists found that the peels could be used up to 11 times without losing their purifying powers. And they were cheap. "I was surprised to learn that something so simple could work so well," said Castro. "I believe banana peels can be of great importance in water purification." But one important question remains: With banana skins going to a good cause, what will pranksters use for a good-old fashioned peel pratfall? ----- Coalition members!

new book, The DivaGirl's Guide to Style and Self-Respect From coast to coast, it's no wonder why urban girls are in a state of crisis: Teenage
mothers are the latest stars of MTV, and female flash-mob robbers are a hit on
YouTube. ? But what happens when the camera crews are off chasing the next sensational
craze? Many teen girls will be left alone, out of the spotlight, struggling to find their
way from adolescence to adulthood. ?? High school dropout rates range from 40% to 50% for urban teen girls ? Girl-on-girl violence is on the rise, accounting for 1 in 4 violent episodes? Sexually transmitted diseases have reached epidemic levels among urban teen girls?? What happens when these girls realize that their 15 minutes of fame and poor
decision-making could lead to a lifetime of consequences? ?? Help is on the way. We've got "your pocketbook to success" with The DivaGirl's
Guide to Style and Self-Respect by Cheryl Ann Wadlington with Sonya Beard,
coming in March 2012 from The Elevator Group. Over many years of operating her popular modeling seminars, self-image
workshops and urban charm school, Evoluer House in Philadelphia, Wadlington has
talked to-and listened to- thousands of girls. She knows their interests and
struggles; she understands where they're coming from and where they're going.
She's that big sister who believes in them and says, "You can make it!" This hands-on guide advises girls on fashion tips and beauty secrets, playing nice
with friends and keeping guys in check, and how to handle herself in cyberspace
and in the real world-all while keeping her cool points. It also addresses more serious issues that affect her self-esteem and her ability to
succeed. This book isn't full of random "shoulds" to memorize. It explains all the
"whys," so today's girl can make wise decisions. About the Authors: Cheryl Ann Wadlington is one of the nation's premiere fashion
and beauty journalists and a leading consultant in the field of personal growth. An
accomplished writer, television personality and sought-after motivational speaker,
she has reached millions through publications such as Self, Essence, Life & Style,
and The Philadelphia Daily News. She founded Evoluer Image Consultants, an
award-winning full-service agency in Philadelphia that provides clients with
extensive makeovers, personal shopping and wardrobe management. She also
operates the nonprofit organization, The Evoluer House, which has graduated more
than 700 socio-economically challenged girls from this highly successful personal
development program. Cheryl majored in advertising and communications at the
Fashion Institute of Technology and Fashion Merchandising at Bauder Fashion
College. She also served on the faculty of the Temple University School of
Communications and the advisory board of Cheyney University's Fashion
Merchandising program. Sonya Beard, a nationally award-winning journalist, spent more than five years at In
Style, the international fashion magazine at Time Inc. She served as a media
consultant for Kulture2Couture, a fashion initiative by the Mayor's Office of London.
And she's been a freelance book editor who's worked on beauty and fashion titles,
including Soul Style: Black Women Redefining the Color of Fashion and Black Hair:
Art, Style and Culture. The Temple University graduate is based in Seoul, where she
is a contributing writer for Seoul magazine and an expat correspondent for The
Korea Herald. ADVANCE PRAISE?? "I applaud this precious book. Thank God for Cheryl Ann Wadlington!" ?-Cornel West, Ph.D., Princeton professor and cultural critic?? "The DivaGirl's Guide is the perfect antidote: a blueprint for girls to negotiate the
difficult journey into adulthood with a sense of dignity, grace and style." ?? -Jason King, Ph.D., Clive Davis Department of Recorded Music, New York University ----- Coalition members!

Q: Are these manufacturer coupons or coupons
that I print on my computer?
A: All of our coupons are actual manufacturer coupons. Fewer and fewer retailers accept coupons that are printed
from your computer because of a huge increase in counterfeit coupons. Actual manufacturer coupons which we issue
are accepted everywhere that coupons are accepted. Q: Can these coupons be doubled? Q: What are the face values and the expiration dates of these coupons? Q: How can I use $1,000.00 worth of coupons in 90 days? Q: How do I choose the coupons I want?
