In 2004, there was emerging consensus
among national child abuse prevention organizations and related Federal
agencies that building public will for child abuse prevention required
engaging the public in efforts to strengthen and support families and
enhance parenting skills. Building on this national momentum, OCAN shifted
the focus of its child abuse prevention resources to incorporate a family
strengthening message promoting parenting and community support. Today, the
Child Abuse Prevention Initiative is an opportunity for communities across
the country to keep children safe, provide the support families need to stay
together, and raise children and youth to be happy, secure, and stable
adults. HERE |

It’s Crunch Time |

A new,
yet seasoned generation of leaders is about to take the reins, the
latter era baby boomers, if you will. They are the “too young for
Vietnam, but too old for Kuwait” generation that’s been dormant in the
leadership category until now. Why? Because it’s time..... |

Journey to a place and time where your

glimmering waterfalls and a warm breeze from the

Las
Vegas Entertainment News April 2008
April is one of the best months of the
year...while we get some occasional April showers; we
usually have some of the best weather of the year. Big
new shows are opened or just about to open, there is a
healthy convention calendar, and all of the pools have
been opened at all of the resorts...... |

Can you say, "Overload?" |
| |
Afternoons are filled with magic, with the Trop,
Harrah's, Planet Hollywood, Flamingo and now the
Sahara all featuring a magic show. No way they will
all survive. Too much magic, folks, even for Vegas
standards. That said, I wish them all well and may
the best wand win......
