Dear
Neighbors:
Our first issue of Cause An Effect was well received
and we appreciate your feedback. The "Wish List" section
is a hit and many of you have told us you found our Hurricane
Season 2006 websites helpful. Good news for seniors in Miami-Dade
and Broward Counties: Seniors in need of help with hurricane-related
repairs can click here
for more information on how they can apply for assistance. We
hope you enjoy October's issue. Respond,
and Cause An Effect!
Kind Regards,
Lynne Cameron
Executive Director

month's Good Neighbor is George David from Malibu Pools
who recruited the pool industry to repair the pool of
a 12-year-old handicapped girl so she can use it for aqua
therapy. Click
here to learn more about this story and see all the
wonderful people who helped make this dream come true.
The full story will be airing on CBS4 in the coming weeks.
Stay tuned! |

Background:
Educate
Tomorrow is a non-profit organization based
in Miami-Dade County whose primary mission is to
provide one-on-one educational mentors to foster
care children that are turning 19 and "aging
out" of the system. |
Every year hundreds of these kids "age out"
and are expected to blend into society as adults-even
though many have not yet graduated from high school. Educate
Tomorrow mentors provide guidance and information to assist
them in successfully transitioning to independent adulthood.
Needs: Mentors and gift certificates for household
items.

Neighbors
4 Neighbors is a non-profit organization 501(c)
3 originally created by CBS4 in 1992 in the aftermath
of Hurricane Andrew. As South Florida recovered, CBS4
made a commitment to make Neighbors an integral part
of its community service program. Using the power of
television to reach people who want to help and by forging
relationships with important community and business
leaders, Neighbors has evolved into a valuable resource
for individuals and families in our community facing
critical needs. |
