Dear Supporters,                                                                                         May 15, 2011   
     Heal the Community is seeking Donations & Grants to benefit a Boy’s & Girl’s Club after school program at Meiners Oaks Elementary School. This area of the Ojai Valley is in need of something productive & positive for our youth. The Boy’s & Girl’s Club has been very successful in the county & including the Oak View facility. Their statistics show the benefits of their program by helping lower the rate of school drop outs, teen pregnancy and drug use. They enrich the community by helping the families better provide for their children by being able to focus on work and having a safe environment for their child while they are at work. This also has shown to have a positive effect on the local economy.
 Kids who participate in after school programs are more likely to become productive members of their communities and go on to college and become more successful in life.
 On April 17, 2011 we lost one of our beloved Co-founders Wayne Ortman and one of our wonderful volunteers Sonia Miller in a tragic motorcycle accident. They will both be dearly missed. This years Mentor Madness event will be dedicated to Wayne & Sonia in loving memory of what wonderful people they were & their commitment to this project in our community. We hope you will all join us in this worthwhile project.   ~3rd Annual Mentor Madness Poker Run / Car & Motorcycle Show August 27, 2011 at Soule County Park Ojai.
  As we all look to the year ahead when we choose what events we will sponsor we hope you will join us in this worthwhile project for the Meiners Oaks area kids.   ~Sponsor Packages are available for event.   Thank you
