1.4 Billion Reasons Multi-Media Presentation
Friday, May 11, 7 p.m. (Extra Parking at Marriott)
by Global Poverty Project
The vision of the organizer, the Global Poverty Project, is to have a world without extreme poverty within a generation.
The first in a series of related activities that will include a Food Challenge for All Soulers in June – eating for 5 days on a U.S. extreme poverty budget of $1.50 per day per person or on the more generous food stamp budget of $3.17 per day.
Get a head start and begin preparation for the Food Challenge now. Buy rice, lentils, and various kinds of beans and try out some new recipes.

We will be doing 
our “School is Cool” Boutique again this year for 400 deserving kids. Please help us and look through your closets and drawers and donate any small fun things you think kids would enjoy either having or giving to their parents for Christmas gifts. Last year we had over 100 kids shop for their moms and dads. Please leave bags clearly marked in the All Souls office and I will pick them up. Contact: Linda Parkinson, 816-931-6044 .

Social Justice Committee Invites New Participants
Third Sundays of the month), 12:15—1:15
Social Justice Committee invites you to help create the new and improved version of this important committee. Social Justice has been the ‘incubator’ for ideas and activities:
We’ve trained deputy voter registrars
Sponsored speakers
Been the go-to guys when an All Souler wants to do something like protest concealed guns or organize a march.
Sponsor the Harvesters barrels
Work with reStart
Now, we want to listen to anyone with an idea, a justice itch that you gotta scratch. With meetings lasting an hour or less, we will decide on actions and do them. If you’re interested, but the time doesn’t work for you, write caronwells@aol.com or leave a note in the Social Justice mailbox in the Communication Center.
