BACKGROUND:
To celebrate Valentine's Day and link it with the
American Heart Month, the AHA would like to have the
President run with approximately 25 children ranging in
age from 8 to 14. All the runners would be wearing
specially designed T-shirts with the American Heart
Association's logo on front and the phrase "I ran with
President Clinton on Valentine's Day" on the back. The
T-Shirts would be white with red printing.
The event would start with brief remarks by the
President. Following the opening remarks, the President
would jog around an indoor track with the children.
After the jog, the AHA would present the President with
the "American Heart Association Kids' Cookbook."
Copies of the book were sent to The First Lady and Mrs.
Gore in August.
PREVIOUS PARTICIPATION:
The President signed the proclamation declaring
February American Heart Month and ran with members
of the American Heart Association last Valentine's Day.

U.S. children's health assessed
in AHA state-of-the-heart report
DALLAS, Feb. 10 -- More than 600,000 children in the United States have some form of
heart disease and nearly half of the approximately 80 million Americans under the age of 21
will eventually die of coronary artery disease and stroke, according to a special report by a
team of experts from the American Heart Association.
In the report, published in the February issue of the AHA journal Circulation, five
scientists and clinicians from the AHA's Task Force on Children and Youth address the current
status of cardiovascular health and disease in young Americans.
According to the report, approximately 440,000 children have malformed hearts, and
about 32,000 children with congenital heart disease are born every year. "As many as 20
percent of these newborns die of their cardiac conditions during the first year of life," the
authors write.
Although the causes of most of these conditions are unknown, many can be attributed to
genetic defects, maternal diseases such as rubella, or maternal ingestion of certain drugs or
alcohol during pregnancy.
Acquired and genetic diseases, such as rheumatic fever, Kawasaki disease,
cardiomyopathy, Marfan syndrome and heart rhythm disturbances add to the number of
children with heart disease, the report says.
Because many adult cardiovascular diseases begin during childhood, the writing group
recommends that attention be paid to children's dietary fat and cholesterol intake. exposure to
tobacco smoke, obesity, physical inactivity and high blood pressure.
Depending on gender and race, between six million and 15 million children in the U.S. are
obese, the scientists say in their report. Also, the proportion of children who are not physically
active appears to be increasing. "During the past decade," they write, "the percentage of high
school students who participate in vigorous physical activity at least three times per week has
declined from 61.7 percent to 36.1 percent."
-more-
Circ/Moller 2
The scientists also recommend that children three years old or older have their blood
pressure measured once a year. If a child has high blood pressure, they suggest dietary
intervention, weight control and physical activity should be used before beginning any drug
treatment.
Two other barriers to children's heart health are poverty and lack of health insurance.
One of every five children in the U.S. lives at or below the 1992 government-defined poverty
level of $13,950 for a family of four. Certain cardiovascular diseases, such as acute rheumatic
fever, are associated with poverty. And 25 percent of all children and 51 percent of young
adults who have heart disease do not have health insurance for all or part of the year, they
say in their report.
The scientists point to the need for continued research to increase our understanding of
disease mechanisms and improve methods of treatment. However, they report there are
fewer than 1,000 certified pediatric cardiologists in the U.S., and only a limited number of them
devote a substantial effort to either clinical or basic biomedical research.
"The limited research efforts in cardiovascular conditions of children is occurring in an era
of major advances in molecular biology. Research tools, but not researchers, are available."
they conclude.
But what we can do, the scientists say, is teach children to modify their risk factors for
heart disease and stroke. This can be done through: schools via classroom activities, school
lunch programs and physical education programs; physicians, by emphasizing preventive care
and providing nutrition information and strategies to combat cigarette smoke; and parents, by
becoming role models by practicing and promoting heart healthy behaviors.

DRAFT
AMERICAN HEART MONTH, 1994
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
Approximately every 34 seconds, someone in the United States dies of heart or blood
vessel disease. Heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular diseases kill more than
923,000 Americans every year. In fact, cardiovascular diseases cause nearly 43 percent
of all deaths.
More than 56 million Americans currently suffer from one or more forms of
cardiovascular disease, including high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, rheumatic
heart disease, and stroke. While many people mistakenly assume that heart disease
occurs primarily in old age, studies show that five percent of all heart attacks occur in
people younger than age 40, and more than 45 percent occur in people younger than age
65.
In the United States, stroke is the leading cause of serious disability and the third
leading cause of death. Though the death rate from stroke has dramatically declined
during the past decade, 500,000 people will suffer a new or recurrent stroke this year.
Today, more than 3 million Americans who have suffered a stroke are alive. As the U.S.
population ages, it is likely that heart disease and stroke will affect more people than
ever before.
Cardiovascular diseases including stroke exact an incalculable toll in human pain and
suffering. They also inflict a heavy cost on our nation in terms of health care expenses
and lost productivity. The annual cost of cardiovascular-related physician and nursing
services, hospital and nursing home services, medications, and lost work due to disability
is estimated at $128 billion.
Fortunately, the outlook is not all gloomy. From 1981 to 1991 age-adjusted death rates
from heart attack declined 32.4 percent and during the same years the death rate for
2
stroke dropped 30.5 percent. Advances in both the treatment and the prevention of
heart and blood vessel diseases account for much of this progress.
Since 1948 the Federal Government, through the National Heart, Lung, and Blood
Institute, and the American Heart Association, a private not-for-profit voluntary
organization, have spent millions of dollars on research into cardiovascular diseases and
educational programs. The American Heart Association estimates that it has invested
more than one billion dollars on research since it became a national voluntary health
organization in the late 1940s. That great investment has been made possible by the
generosity of the American public and the dedicated efforts of the Association's 3.7
million volunteers.
Financial support from the Federal Government and the American Heart Association
has helped physicians and scientists make advances in cardiovascular health care. These
funds have also provided for valuable educational programs designed to help individual
Americans learn what they can do to prevent heart attack and stroke.
For example, we know how important is is to prevent people, particularly young people,
from using tobacco products. We also know that controlling blood pressure, eating a
diet low in fat and cholesterol, and exercising regularly are all prudent ways of reducing
the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
Although significant progress has been made in the struggle to overcome cardiovascular
diseases, the major killer of Americans, we must not become complacent. As we
approach the end of the century, it is fitting that we strengthen and renew our
commitment to winning this battle.
In recognition of the need for all Americans to become involved in the ongoing fight
against cardiovascular diseases, the Congress, by joint Resolution approved December
30, 1963 (77 Stat. 843;36 U.S.C. 169b), has requested that the President issue an annual
proclamation designating February as "American Heart Month."
NOW, THEREFORE I, Bill Clinton, President of the United States of America, do
hereby proclaim the month of February 1994 American Heart Month. I invite the
Governors of the States, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, officials of other areas
3
subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, and the American people to join me in
reaffirming our commitment to combating cardiovascular diseases and stroke.
IN WITNESS THEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this day of February, in the
-
year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety four and of the independence of the
United States of America the two hundred and eighteenth.

PROPOSAL:
1. Valentine's Day Run For Heart (Monday, February 14, 1994): this event was such a
success last year and it is an ideal way to promote the importance of physical activity.
As the President and Vice President and Mrs. Gore enjoy running, it also sends a
direct message to Americans about the importance of taking prevention and healthy
living personally.
2. Heart Healthy Breakfast: if the run can be done at or near the White House (is the
White House running track completed?), an informal heart healthy breakfast buffet
could follow. Continuing the focus on kids, the AHA has just introduced the
"American Heart Association Kids' Cookbook," geared to healthy children ages 8-12
and their parents to help them prepare foods in a healthy way. Copies of the cookbook
were sent to The First Lady and Mrs. Gore in August. The AHA would be happy to
provide the White House with selected breakfast recipes from the Kids' Cookbook or
from other AHA cookbooks, including the "American Heart Association Low-Salt
Cookbook" and the "American Heart Association Low-Fat, Low-Cholesterol
Cookbook." This breakfast would focus attention on the importance of a healthy diet
in reducing the risk of diseases, such as heart disease and stroke. It would also reaffirm
the commitment to healthy eating by the AHA and the President and the First Lady, as
evidenced by Mrs. Clinton's personal changes with the White House menu.
3. Proclamation Signing: the signing of the proclamation could take place after the run
and during the breakfast buffet. An indoor location for the breakfast and the signing
would probably be preferable given Washington weather in February. Members of
Congress, federal officials and representatives from the AHA could participate in both
the run and the breakfast/signing ceremony. This would also present an opportunity to
include a stroke or heart attack survivor and/or a child or children with congenital
heart disease. We might also consider a high-visibility survivor of heart disease such as
Larry King. Mr. King has worked as an active spokesperson with the AHA in the past.
The proclamation signing would also provide President Clinton and AHA President
James H. Moller, M.D., a pediatric cardiologist, with an ideal opportunity to weave
together our mutual goals of promoting healthy behavior for Americans, with a specific
emphasis on children. The AHA also shares and supports the President's commitment
to preventive services and education and expanded funding for biomedical research as
part of national health care reform.
4. Video Public Service Announcement: the President's and the AHA's health
promotion message could also be communicated through a video psa, which could run
throughout the month of February, American Heart Month. The AHA can take
responsibility for distributing the spot through its 56 state affiliates and more than
2,000 local divisions nationwide. AHA's communications staff at the state and local
level have established relationships with broadcast media and broadcast public service
directors. The public service video could be distributed along with the AHA's
American Heart Month Media Kit. We've attached a sample of the kit for your
information.
The American Heart Association is one of the public's leading sources for health
information and one of its leading advocates for strong national disease prevention and
health promotion policies. A nonprofit voluntary health agency, the AHA is
committed to reducing disability and death from cardiovascular diseases and stroke.
The AHA spent more than $232 million last year on scientific research, public and
professional education and community programs to fulfill its mission.
The AHA looks forward to continuing a strong cooperative relationship with the
Clinton Administration on national health care issues.

SECOND CONTINENTAL CONGRESS OF WOMEN OF THE AMERICAS
February 17-22, 1994
Washington, D.C.
INTRODUCTION: The "First Continental Congress of Women of the Americas" took place October 10-12, 1992, in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
Attendance included 700 women from 25 countries of the American Hemisphere and observers from other areas of the globe.
THEME: The theme of the Second Continental Congress "Strength Through Communication" establishes the focus of all conference presentations and events.
The objective of the conference is to create stronger linkages and networking among Women of the Americas, and to strengthen and enhance the ability of
Women of the Americas to improve their quality of life.
CONFERENCE PROGRAM: The Second Continental Congress' five (5) day program includes Plenary Sessions presented by panels of experts addressing
topical issues and specific concerns impacting women on a daily basis. General topics of discussion include:
Politics/Public Administration
Self-Empowerment/Equality
Health
Education/Literacy/Re-training
Environment
Family
Business/Economics/Glass Ceiling
Arts/Sports/Culture
Special sessions for women of similar cultures addressing their unique concerns will be conducted with an open forum format. There will be sufficient time,
events, and opportunities to stimulate communication, to promote the exchange of ideas, to establish linkages and to network among the 1,500 plus women of
diverse backgrounds and cultures in attendance at the "Second Continental Congress of Women of the Americas".
CONFERENCE EVENTS: A variety of special events are included to assure the Second Continental Congress will be both interesting and informative.
National and International dignitaries and celebrities will participate in many events. A detailed program will be provided after receipt of completed
Registration Form and payment of Registration Fee.
CONFERENCE EXHIBITS: A special one-day Market Place will facilitate the exhibition and exposition of national and corporate products and services.

Naval Training Center, Orlando's Black History Month Planning
Committee is tasked with the planning and implementation of all Dr.
Martin Luther King. Jr. and Black History Month Observances on
board the Center.
Over the past few years we have established a number of
observances as annual events:
1)
The Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Observance;
2) The Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Observance Basketball
Tournament;
3)
The Black History Month Opening Prayer Breakfast; and
4)
The Black History Month restival In The Park.
This year, in addition to the above events, we, in partnership
with the Lennon Foundation, are sponsoring the first Black History
Month Celebration Ball on February 19, 1994. This special black-
tie event will commence with a reception at 6:00 p.m. followed by
a dinner and dance.
In tribute of this year S theme: "Empowering Afro-American
Organizations: Present and Future" we have developed a program to
recognize the contributions and achievements of local and national
Afro-Amcrican organizations. This event is open to the general
public, along with invited guests from local Afro-American Black
sororities, Fraternities and Civic Organizations.
Additionally, local Afro-American businesses have been invited to
set-up cultural displays in honor of this event. This will provide
them the opportunity increase their visibility to the community at
large and expose the 450 guests to Afro-American culture.

Comments:
Ruby,
I think that you will find this information helpful.
The Black History program sponsored by the Navy is scheduled for February 19, 1994 at 7:00 pm
in Orlando, Fl. The committee is willing to take care of all the travel arrangements and also give
AMH a hospitality suite. They would like AMH to be the keynote speaker. Ms. Lennon said that
they have a military chaplain doing the invocation and perhaps introducing AMH. They haven't
ironed out all the details yet. She said that if AMH agrees to do it, they will probably not have
another speaker.
The audience will be composed of primary military personnel approximately 350 people. The
VIP's in the audience will include local black civic leaders, the mayor and a navy admiral.
Please let me know if AMH is going to do this or not. If I can be of any help with a surrogate,
please call. Also as a side note, Ms. Lennon said that Secretary Jesse Brown was asked but
declined due to a schedule conflict.
Thanks Ruby for all your help. I just spoke to Mark and he said to contct you.
Call me if you can.

All organizations need money in order to operate successfully, however, in our efforts to keep the
less fortunate from becoming beggars, we in turn as non-profits become beggars ourselves,
relying on the goodwill of others for our major support. We at A Lennon Foundation, Inc. plan
to create profit centers that directly feed into the needs of the people we service.
Culinary Arts School
This will be an accredited 2 year program resulting in an Associates Degree in Occupational
Services. These student graduates will be able to fill the great demand throughout the country for
qualified chefs at restaurants, hotels, hospitals, institutions and nonprofit feeding programs. The
Culinary School will also have dining facilities open to the public. We know, especially with the
years of working with Second Harvest and Second Helpings that thousands of pounds of good
food goes into the dumpster instead of being distributed to the homeless and needy. Our excess
food will be recycled to help feed those in need. The nutritional needs of children in this country
is not being satisfied. One out of every five children goes hungry, resulting in poor performance
in school and aggressive behavior of others in the family trying to satisfy their needs. As a
so-called wealthy country, we must start reconstructing our system.
Day Care Specialist Program
This will be a 2 year program that will be run simultaneously with an active day care. Students
in this program will have hands on childcare training, parenting skills, and a state certificate after
graduation from this program. Low income children must learn from an early age not just how to
exist in this complicated world, but must put hope, self esteem and dreams into these
children. Too many of these children when asked what do you want to be when you grow up are
saying "Nothing". We must also work with the parents of these children, (many of them children
themselves) teaching them parenting skills, setting up self help classes, G.E.D., technical training
and those with entrepreneurial spirits should be encouraged and assisted with starting a business.
We will help them in all phases, monitoring their growth for the first 2 years in business. Thus,
creating jobs and hope of the American Dream.
As we grow we will create or help to create a military type school where we can break the cycle
of defeat for the many dropouts in this country. These youngsters need more than the 3 R's, they
need good survival skills. They need to learn how to take charge of their lives and direct it
toward a positive goal. They need community pride and self esteem, and having these youngsters
on a 24 hour basis is ideal for turning their lives around.
Many of us have fallen into the habit of when our neighborhood started a "negative change", we
simply moved to a better one. Now ther 3 is no where else to run. Our neglect has caught up with
us. If we as concerned people don't start cleaning up this mess, we will soon be living on a boat
in the middle of the ocean with sentries at every port hole. The solution is simple, but we must
be serious because the problems are very serious. We are a member of the Orlando Chamber of
Commerce and many other community and national organizations. Our network of helping
hands is endless. Our executive board is a group of successful business people that have over
100 collective years of community involvement.

In a remarkable confluence of public and private support, our nation stands

young persons in the critically needed vocations of culinary arts and daycare.
Fringe Benefits Plans, Inc.
Treasurer
This cooperati effort also would defray some of its own costs by training
(for tuition fees) chefs and daycare professionals in state-certified programs.
Faith Broadnax
Executive Chef
Properly funded, the venture also will lead to the creation of new jobs in the
Tim Webber Catering
private sector.
Secretary
Perhaps most importantly, we have a splendid opportunity to invest in young
people who otherwise are at risk for slamming into an already overburdened
criminal justice system. In the process, we can preclude some of the
enormous social costs that inevitably flow from treating young citizens as
disposable commodities.
There exists already within the Greater Orlando political and business
community a deep and profound support for the establishment of A Lennon
Foundation. What is perhaps most critical now is generous public start-up
funding. Without it, these proposed non-profits are in danger of dissipating
the very energy and passion that hold so much promise for the less fortunate.
Thank you for your interest in re-channeling public resources in this most
opportune fashion. Here follows a précis on how the proposed non-profits
will interface, how they will seek to become in part self-sustaining and how
they will offer America a spectacular chance to re-affirm its commitment to
equality through the creation of new jobs in critically important fields.

CENTER FOR DAYCARE SPECIALIST TRAINING
A Project of the A Lennon Foundation
Few phenomena so wrenchingly exacerbate the cycle of poverty as the lack of adequate daycare for single
parents, indeed all families with marginal or incoderate incomes. Hope, self-esteem, dreams, even self-reliance
all tend to collapse in the face of inadequate child care. Affordable care, on the other hand, can help break the
successive pattern of public relief that now commands too many of America's scarce resources.
There is no mystery to extricating ourselves from this dreadful cycle. The solution is simple. It takes only a
commitment to change - and the willingness to underwrite that change. A Lennon Foundation's proposal of
multi-dimentional training addresses the full range of daycare needs.
To begin is our challenge. We here propose nothing less than a national Center for Daycare Specialist Training.
Modest at the outset, over time its enrollment could reach into the hundreds or even thousands, as needs dictate.
What is critical is that we begin. In time, no poor child need answer a dismaying "Nothing" when asked "What
would you like to be when you grow up?"
A Lennon Foundation envisions a two-year, state-certified program. The Center will accept children of students
in the Culinary Arts School. To partially earn its keep, it also would accept children from the community at
large. Those parents able to afford the fees would be charged. Others would be publicly or privately subsidized
or charged on a sliding scale.
Under supervision of certified professionals, Center students will operate an active, 24-hour daycare program.
Learning by doing, they will master management, teaching and parenting skills. With guidance from Center
psychiatric and medical staff, students will grasp the art of identifying children who need attention in those
fields.
Education and public health majors at the University of Central Florida will assist in immunization and tutorial
programs. Additionally, family planning professionals from the academic and at-large communities will work
with parents of children in the Center to interrupt the cycle of babies being born into poorly prepared families
or to single parents. Single mothers and fathers will be welcomed to parenting skills, nutrition and other
workshops.
Both the Orlando-based Parent Resource Council and 4Cs (Coordinated Community Child Care) are
committed to the Center's goals. These United Way agencies will assist the Center in its national outreach by
sharing their community-based experience with Center Enrollees.
The Center for Daycare Specialist Training actually has a number of prospective customers: nurses, telephone
operators, and all jobs that require night shifts; children and parents from the community at large; and, most
importantly, individuals interested in becoming daycare professionals.
It is the latter group who constitute the Center's principal target audience. Beyond the critical and nationwide
need for professional daycare they will eventually address, they will have an economic impact by creating new
jobs in programs they themselves initiate upon graduation.
We have shared a wonderful dream here. Daunting, yes. Do-able, absolutely! So many concerned Americans
in this community and beyond have the will and the know-how to stop hopelessness and poverty dead in their
tracks. Now we need to give them the means to act on those noble commitments.

CULINARY ARTS SCHOOL
A Project of the A Lennon Foundation
Under the supervision of trained food service professionals, students at the Culinary Arts School will prepare all
meals for students and personnel enrolled or working in the program. They also will address nutritional needs
of children enrolled in the daycare program detailed below.
This two-year program to be accredited by the State of Florida, results in an Associates Degree in Occupational
Services. In addition to filling food service positions in the labor-intensive Florida hospitality industry,
graduates will seek employment at restaurants, hotels, hospitals and other institutions throughout the country.
Select graduates will be encouraged to open their own catering or restaurant business. The Central Florida
Chapter of the Florida Restaurant Association, already committed to The Culinary Arts School, has pledged to
enlist its sister associations in other states and cities to offer employment, monitoring and follow-up mentoring
services for up to two years for those entrepreneurs. Likewise, local chapters of the American Culinary
Federation both in Central Florida and other communities, also will employ or monitor and mentor graduates.
Culinary students also will learn by doing at various restaurant facilities on the academy grounds. With
supervision in all aspects of restaurant management, particularly gifted students will garner a basic knowledge
that prepares them to manage their own companies or to assume staff management positions for other firms. As
well, operation of these on-campus facilities, to be open to the public, will generate revenues for the culinary
arts school. With assistance from the community outside the Academy, other facilities may be opened beyond
the Academy campus.
To assist students who have the drive and talent to open their own catering service or restaurant, the A Lennon
Foundation envisions a private and publicly funded grants program (managed by A Lennon Foundation).
Through a combination of federal and state small business grants and seed money provided by professional
associations, culinary graduates will have the means to initiate small businesses in the community of their
choice. Individual funding also will be sought, thus enlarging the potential of job creation wherever graduates
settle.
To minimize waste in the food service industry, the Culinary Arts School will continue the practices established
by such non-profits as Second Harvest and Second Helpings. Both donate leftover food stuffs to deserving
groups which seek to offset the effects of hunger among the disadvantaged. With some one in five of all
American children undernourished each day, this practice of recycling food can address themselves in the
communities of their choice, their training "vill lead them to extend this practice wherever there is a need.
The A Lennon Foundation board will be chosen from a broad cross section of professional, educational and
political leadership.

President, WRAP
Dear Ms. Herman:
You are cordially invited to be a part of U Control U, the metropolitan Washington area's
exciting event for youth to take place on President's Day, February 21, 1994, at the USAir
Arena. Sponsored by the Washington Regional Alcohol Program (WRAP) and the
Corporation Against Drug Abuse (CADA), U Control U will provide students, parents, and
the community with exciting and fun alternatives to alcohol and drug use.
Co-chaired by veteran Washington Redskin Art Monk and U.S. Congresswoman Connie
Morella (R-Md.), U Control U will draw nearly 100 high school basketball teams together
to compete in a 3-on-3 tournament. The winning teams will receive cash awards for their
school's substance abuse prevention programs.
In addition, Tae Kown Do master Jhoon Rhee will present an incredible exhibition of
martial arts; area schools, police departments, substance abuse prevention organizations and
youth-oriented groups will exhibit their programs; and local musicians will perform.
Nationally-known sports figures and entertainers are also expected to provide "special guest
appearances" throughout the day.
The day will begin with opening ceremonies at 8:30 a.m. and the final round and awards
ceremony will begin at approximately 4:00 p.m. A VIP reception will follow. We would be
delighted to have you and members of your family be our guests or to have any high school
age children participate in the tournament itself. For more information, or to R.S.V.P.,
please contact WRAP at (703) 893-0461.
We look forward to working with you to show area youth that U Control U.
Sincerely,

Atlanta turns page in war

'Hawaii Five-O" Jack Lord told Detective
on illiteracy
Danno to "book 'em" hundreds of times. Now,
a wealthy timber tycoon is helping The Atlanta
Project "book 'em" almost one million times.
Holland Ware, owner of the Book Warehouse of
Georgia, has agreed to donate 800,000 books to
help with the latest citywide Atlanta Project
initiative - stamping out illiteracy. The
estimated worth of the books is $10 million.
"This will be tremendously significant to our
literacy effort," said Gwen Davis,
communications coordinator for The Atlanta
Project. "It's overwhelming. It's just an indication
of the kind of impact the project can have when
people come get involved."
"The future success of our country depends on
our children getting a good education," Mr. Ware
said. "So I'm really pleased to be able to
participate."
The first shipment of 210,000 books was
delivered July 28 to the BellSouth warehouse on
Peachtree Industrial Boulevard, and 20 more
shipments will arrive in the next few weeks.
BellSouth is The Atlanta Project's corporate
partner for literacy. It will help sort and
distribute the books, which will be divided
equally among the 20 clusters.
Pamela Fuller, BellSouth's Atlanta Project
director, was one of more than 20 volunteers from
BellSouth, the Metro Atlanta Literacy Network
and The Atlanta Project who unloaded the books
from trucks. The volunteers braved sizzling
temperatures and a non-air-conditioned
warehouse, but Ms. Fuller said no one seemed to
mind.
"Everyone had a real good time," she said.
"Even though we started early in the morning, it
was still really hot." Still, Ms. Fuller said
everyone wanted to help sort the books, which
will be done this week. The books will be sorted
into about 20 categories - from diet cookbooks to
children's stories.
"Everyone is really excited," she said.
Perhaps no one is as excited as Mr. Ware, who
has adopted illiteracy as his second cause. For
years he led a crusade to find a cure for cancer -
giving $500,000 in 1990 to Auburn University for
cancer research and in 1991 giving $3 million to
establish a cancer research laboratory at Emory
University.

To Alexis Herman
Rosalynn and I would like to invite you to spend a long
weekend with us in the Colorado Rockies. Last January we hosted
a Winter Weekend to benefit The Atlanta Project which was such a
great success we have decided to do it again on February 23-27,
1994. The enclosed brochure gives all the details.
of all the delightful things that we do during the year,
this four-day holiday provides Rosalynn and me with the best
opportunity to relax and really enjoy the fellowship of good
friends and supporters who share so many of our interests.
We knew from our experiences in going to Crested Butte with our
family for several years that the facilities, food, service and
skiing would all be great.
The one thing we had not anticipated was the inspiration
that came from having a group of young people from The Atlanta
Project communities with us. Everyone who participated in last
year's event was moved, some to tears, by these young people and
their compelling stories about their lives and what being with
our group meant to them.
These teenagers were chosen from different parts of the city
and most did not know each other beforehand. Totally without
prompting from us, they prepared a skit which demonstrated not
only the problems they faced but the hope that they now shared as
a result of The Atlanta Project.
We hope you will come and be with us and that you will also
consider inviting other family members and friends to join you.
Last year our dear friends John and Betty Pope used the event as
Christmas presents for their entire family. Another friend that
could not make the trip himself gave it as gifts to his
grandchildren. Others brought their own children or came with
friends.

Dear Ms. Herman:
I am pleased to invite you to the National Council of La Raza's (NCLR) 1994
Congressional Awards Dinner on Wednesday, February 23, honoring Congressman Don
Edwards (D-CA) and Congresswoman Connie Morella (R-MD). This black-tie event,
sponsored by Frito-Lay, Inc. and the American Petroleum Institute, will be hosted by
Congressman Ed Pastor (D-AZ) at the Hyatt Regency Hotel on Capitol Hill and will open
with a reception in honor of past NCLR award recipients. The reception will be held at 6:00
p.m. in the Regency Ballroom, followed by the gala awards dinner at 7:00 p.m.
Each year NCLR recognizes Congressmembers from both sides of the aisle for their
legislative record, provision of constituency services, and institutional reform benefiting
Hispanic Americans. This year, NCLR will recognize Congressman Edwards for his tireless
struggle in defending the civil rights of all Americans, an issue which is as important to him
as it is to the Hispanic community, and Congresswoman Morella for her support and
sponsorship of legislation to assist women and families.
Please contact Ms. Lillian Hirales at (202) 289-1380 by Friday, February 11 to
reserve your complimentary ticket to the dinner. We look forward to hearing from you
soon.
