Salient Life is needing sponsors for at-risk young men to send them to two two-day Christian retreat this summer. If you would like to sponsor a young man by providing a tax-deductible donation contact Chris Conklin at [email protected].

Salient Life is a Christian-based youth mentorship program empowering at-risk young men with the knowledge, skills and understanding to become productive and constructive men in their communities and their homes.

Salient Life is desperately trying to ensure young men have a way to get to meetings and events. Unfortunately, lack of transportation is a barrier to many at-risk teens taking advantage of resources to reduce their risk of not succeeding. We are currently trying to raise $20,000 for a passenger van to transport these young men to group meetings and planned events. If you or someone you know is interested in helping. Please let me know at [email protected]. Please forward this to all of your friends.

It's that time of year again for to gather with those we love to celebrate the birth of our Savior...Jesus Christ. Don't forget the Salient Life Christmas Dinner this Wednesday at our normal meeting time and location. Salient Life teens and their families are invited to attend.

Alright folks,
We are getting all kinds of request to help out with people who are in need to help provide young children the benefit of the Joy of Christmas Morning. I have struggled with wanting to take on the responsibility myself and not send these needs to you all. I have three children (all boys ages 8, 11 and 17) whose families have contacted Mariny and I for assistance. Personally we are tapped out financially with available funds earmarked to help due to other requests and these children may not have anything due to a history of dysfunction in their lives and the lack of available resources through the Conklin family. We want to help, but we have hit our personal limit.

Here is my plan:
I am seeking 75 families, persons, or children who are willing to purchase a share of a child’s Christmas morning smile for $8. If you are interested in buying a share of a smile send me your name, address and phone number and I will be come by to pick-up your share. All shares available equal to $600 of Christmas Capital. I already have 8 shares sold; there are 67 shares available. This is a great opportunity to jump in on this IPO of CHRISTmas joy…LOL. Contact me (Chris Conklin) at (615) 692-2360. Or email me at [email protected] .

The Salient boys and leaders took a hiking trip to
Greeter Falls South Cumberland State Park in Bersheeba Springs,TN.
The boys had a blast!
