Starting the page is the first step - but the second, and very important step is to send out a letter/email asking for donations!   There are some resources for you on the web .

The donations you raise make a difference.  It allows MESA to provide client services to individuals that have been affected by sexual assault and it provides resources to MESA's prevention education program, working to reduce the occurrence of sexual assault.

 
Scout Scout Speak!

Do you feel you have not had time to train? Well, there is a great way to get walking on Thursday, April 16th!

Take Back the Night (TBtN) is a nationwide event protesting sexual assault and sexual violence. Boulder is standing up and speaking out because sexual violence, and any hurtful or harmful responses to it, will not be tolerated in our community.  Together we refuse to ignore, excuse, speak falsely or justify its
occurrence.  Sexual violence is a worldwide epidemic and local problem.  After
the reported assaults last fall, members of the community are banding together
to bring awareness to sexual abuse, both disclosed and silent. Sexual violence
affects everyone; it occurs in private homes and on public streets.  This night is
about raising voices against these crimes and offering personal and community
healing.

When: Thursday, April 16, 2009 6:30
UMC Terrace, University of Colorado, Boulder

What:
  • A march around University of Colorado campus and Boulder
  • A rally at the Boulder Band Shell with information about local support
  • systems, speakers, music, a candlelight vigil and interactive art installation. 
  • All ages, genders, and affiliations are welcome and encouraged to attend.
If you can't make it, help spread the word!
Snowy Mika Mika's Musings

I am the new kid on the block!  And I love the snow BUT there is not snow in the forecast for Sunday, April 19th! 

It looks like it will be in the mid 50's, some sun, some cloud but dry.   I will keep you posted but that seems like a good day - not too hot, not too cold and no snow or rain!

I will keep you posted.
