LETS GO VALKS!

Giving more power to a “no” vote than a
“yes” is undemocratic. We are advising no on in order to maintain the “simple majority” needed to have our voices fairly and justly heard.

TODAY! It's The Great Shakeout!

Join us today at 10:15am to practice the life-saving steps of “Drop, Cover, and Hold On”:

1. Drop to your hands and knees.
2. Cover your head and neck (and crawl under a sturdy desk or table if nearby).
3. Hold On to your shelter until the shaking stops (typically recommended for about one minute)

Today is DAF day! Donor-Advised Fund Day is a national giving moment that encourages everyone to put charitable funds that they have already set aside to work for the causes they care about and the communities they call home.

A donor-advised fund, or DAF, is a flexible charitable giving account that allows you to set aside funds for your personal philanthropy and, over time, recommend grants to nonprofit organizations you care about and missions that you believe in.

Because of your generosity, children are gaining opportunities to succeed, families are building greater financial stability, neighbors are accessing critical health resources, and communities are receiving support when disaster strikes.
