Dear colleagues and friends You may already have learned of the Mother's Against Violence (MAV) plans for a March of a Million Mothers (MMM) on 23rd August 2009 in Leeds. Support of this march is crucial to the aim of inviting people from all levels of society to stand together to symbolically reclaim our city from the sort of fragmentation that has led to the tragic rise in gun and knife culture the march seeks to reverse. Mothers Against Violence (MAV) is a voluntary group Founded by Patsy Mckie from Manchester after the death of her son. Pat Regan met Pasty after her son’s death and she gave her the inspiration to begin the same work and support throughout Yorkshire, so MAV is now a national organisation with offices in Manchester, Liverpool, London and Leeds which comprised of mothers who have been affected in some way by gun violence. Support offered by MAV is education for those involved in gangs and violent crime. They work closely within their community, building strong relationships with individuals and families and helping them to understand the effects of violence. Below are the main points of what they do and if you would like more information then please get in touch with[email protected]. On 23rd August 2009, between 14.00hrs and 17.30Hrs, we are asking people to march to reclaim own communities for the good of all who live in them. In Manchester, for example, they will have a march from the town hall around the city, while a cavalcade of supporters will badge up their motorcycles and vehicles to ride around the outer ring-road surrounding our city. Can you help us take this forward, my friend? MAV would very much appreciate any support you could offer in promoting and organising this major initiative that will get a million Mums (and hopefully as many Dads) out on the streets this summer to show their commitment to improving the lives of young people. People of all ages and backgrounds will be working together in a global network of local communities to show the strength of compassion for and commitment to young people. Needless to say, time is of the essence and if you are in receipt of this message I believe you will want to get involved. Well, here's how: Things to think about: Want to get involved? Please could you circulate the information widely via your contacts. Get in touch with Raquel Silvestre or myself Marva Pryce here at Leeds Voice to further develop this initiative. Thanks in advance for your support - which I know will be amazing.

Every seat is the best in the house. Tours are conducted aboard EcoStar 130 helicopters, which feature stadium-style seats wherein all passengers face forward for views through a 180-degree windshield.

I had a dream to begin my own organization, but I didn't earn enough amount of cash to do it. Thank goodness my fellow said to take the credit loans. So I received the commercial loan and realized my desire.
