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 |

Wishing You a Happy Passover! |
|
| |
| |
|
Passover
commemorates the Exodus from Egypt and the liberation of
the Israelites from slavery. Passover commemorates God's
sparing of the Hebrew firstborn as he saw the blood of
the Passover lamb on the doorposts of their houses on
the night of the Tenth Plague, The Festival
of the Unleavened Bread refers to the week-long period when leaven has been
removed, and unleavened bread or matzo ("flatbread"), the holiday's primary
symbol, is eaten to recall the rapid departure of the Israelites from Egypt.

Passover Seder Symbol Song. |

This

funny because it’s so off-base and factually wrong. For
me, slashing through this posting is like a 99-yard run

April Fools Day
The thought just occurred to me, given
the uniqueness of today, April Fools Day, that perhaps
what is going on with our country these days.. the bad
economy, failure of the auto industry, wall street
debacle, loss of jobs, etc. ....perhaps this is just one
big joke and Obama is going to jump out from behind his
podium and yell.........."April Fools!!!".... |

Two
nearby spots make for quick, great getaways just outside
Las Vegas. Loews Resort-Hotel is a destination in the
mountains, by a lake, with amenities such as world-class
golf courses, children’s camp and “Sushi Skool.” For
rustic mountain scenery, go to an even higher elevation
at Mount Charleston Lodge, just northwest of the

Las
Vegas Entertainment News April 2009
It is
an interesting April...with a new President, new
policies, an economy that's in the toilet, a stimulus
package that's supposed to start helping (at some
point)---banks, automakers, and even many of our own
casinos all on the brink of financial disaster; rampant
unemployment and foreclosures, and a war (that we
shouldn't even be in) that has just passed the six year
mark has many Americans asking if things could get any
worse.
