IT'LL BE A GREAT DAY WHEN HUMAN NEEDS ARE FULLY FUNDED AND THE PENTAGON HAS TO HAVE A BAKE SALE - or a 5km/1mile run/walk fundraiser - TO BUY A BATTLESHIP! ...............Marian House has been working holistically for 42 years with at-risk Greater Baltimore area women - - homeless, addicted, jobless, abused, undereducated, and/or imprisoned - - helping them clear the hurdles and overcome the obstacles in their lives. Marian House staff are dedicated, professional and vested in the success of every woman who enters their doors - with or without their children - to and through the day she walks out into her own independently managed apartment. Several of my Public Defender clients were able to reclaim productive lives, re-engaged with society, thanks to Marian House. Help Marian House continue to maintain and scale up its operation to help even more people without compromising their excellent standards and goals. THANKS :>)) ................ Your generous support of the "War is Not the Answer" team - - the one&only Mary Pat Clarke, indefatiguable Kostis Papadantonakis + irrepressible Gretchen Willging, Paris FR unit Rebecca DeFraites, me... (and you?!? Join us!!!) - - reemphasizes our urgent need to course-correct our federal spending priorities, and simultaneously blew us past our original team goal of raising $2,024 for Marian House.... Now we're looking at the possibility of setting a new all-time Team record to raise the bar for future Race teams!!! THANKS AGAIN !!
