[HeartStrongList] February Update - Seventh Day Adventists/Chattanooga/Atlanta

[heartstrong at heartstrong.org]

Hi Everyone,
We are busy in the SE doing outreach work over the next month or so. We've
already done one HeartStrong Educational Forum in Lakeland FL.

This coming Sunday the Atlanta chapter of PFLAG is hosting us and we will
be having an HS Forum at their regular meeting.  For location and time go
to http://www.pflagatl.org

On Sunday the 22, the Unitarian Universalist Church of Chattanooga, TN
will be hosting us for a Forum during their regular morning service.  This
is our only visit to TN this year.

If you are in either of these areas we invite you to come to the meetings!
 And bring friends!

We still have 9 additional forums to do and tons of outreach work.  We
recently spent an afternoon here in FL in the parking lot of an office
building for the Seventh Day Adventist church.  We left our GLBT friendly
"tracts" under windshield wipers and even got to hand them personally to
people coming and going from the building.

We believe there is no bad way to get our life saving information to
people.  Maybe most of the people who get our info throw it away.  But we
are reaching for that one person who needs to know they are not alone,
that one parent who needs to know how to respond to their child coming out
as GLBT or that one teacher from that one school who is ready to begin
living an honest life.

Our work can be tedious but we believe that it is effective and our
success is realized through the lives we have saved, the families put back
together and knowing that everything we do counts.

You can help us in our work.  Maybe you can't drive around the country and
personally visit schools and pass out materials.  But you can empower us
to do it.  We've been doing our outreach and educational work since 1996
and we are only able to do it because of the sacrifical giving of our
HeartStrong friends.
