NEW MEMBER! THE LIFE LINK needs you! Got skills in public relations or design/technical skills for Dreamweaver?

Editor's Note:  Welcome, Welcome to our new E¡V! Member and scroll down to read about The Life Link Second Annual Parking Lot Sale coming up May 1st.

The Life Link is a licensed community mental health center helping individuals and families who are homeless and displaced achieve self-sufficiency through emergency assistance, housing and other supportive programs, including advanced addiction and behavioral health treatment services.

We are interested in finding a volunteer who can help us improve our name recognition in Santa Fe so that more people know about our services. It sometimes seems we are better known nationally than locally. Our staff are mostly involved in crises management on a daily basis and there never seems to be time to do public relations work.

In these days of funding cuts and need for services, a volunteer who could help us with better public relations and/or Dreamweaver website technical or design assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Interested?  Please contact me.

We're broadening our community exposure to recruit more Volunteers. Instead of staging our own public event this year (you may recall discussions about the E¡V! FAIR), we'll participate in various high-attendance community events to give E¡V! the greatest possible public exposure in the shortest period of time.

This wonderful community we all call home needs you!!!

Adult literacy needs you ASAP! Give the gift of reading, writing & speaking English!

49% of adults in Santa Fe County are either functionally illiterate or speak only limited English!!! 49%!!!

LVSF's outreach is unique and impressive, including a variety of literacy programs from its home base at Santa Fe Community College, at workplaces in Santa Fe and in locations throughout the community.

Give the gift of reading, writing, and speaking in English by tutoring adults twice a week for 1-2 hours each time. The rewards are greater than you can ever imagine.
