All mankind is divided into three classes:
those that are immovable, those that are movable, and those that do the moving.”

Golden Opportunity

You have a golden opportunity! Our group is critical to the community. This is why we need your help! We are now a 501(c)3 organization making us eligible to be a United Way donor organization. This means that you can allocate your funds through your employer to go to M.I.S.S. These donations are tax deductions at the end of the year. We are a write in agency, however, which means that we do not yet have a United Way identifying number. In August, you will have many wonderful agencies to choose from, however, we are asking that you write in M.I.S.S. As your group!! Please ask your family and friends to do the same...we cannot continue our work without the assistance of the public, since grant monies are not available for groups such as ours. Remember that we have no paid employees...we are 100% volunteers so every penny goes directly to our services!

The write in will read as follows:
"We choose M.I.S.S. As our donor agency. Their address is P.O. Box 5333 Peoria, AZ 85385."

Now Autumn
What a strange time is autumn,
More than a season,
Autumn can be like a mood.
Softness and warmth and
Abundance drift from the sky like a smile.
And you remember the seasons
Before the children died.
They do seem far away sometimes,
Those seasons, now.
But not the children -
They are always here in this strange time,
This autumn, when the softness
And the warmth and the abundance of
Unseen children drift from the sky like a smile.
—Unknown
