LETTERS TO THE EDITOR...POSSE grateful for support

Dear editor, I would like to thank all our donors who generously donated to the second Peer Outreach Support Services and Education (POSSE) Project Murder Mystery silent auction fundraising event. We would particularly like to thank these local donors: olde Hide House, Blue Spring Spa and Salon, The Vacuum Store, Country Reflection, Catherine Dove, Fire & Ice Jewellery Emporium, Cellar Restaurant, Halton Region and all of those who attended. With their help, we were able to raise more than $3,500 to help `at risk' youth in north Halton. POSSE was designed by youth in north Halton to meet the needs of their peers through training workshops and street level outreach. This project is geared toward youth, especially at-risk youth, and is founded on the belief that youth are a valuable resource, experts in their own lives and in their own experiences, and therefore, in possession of the best solutions to the challenges they face. POSSE is a non-judgmental, harm reduction project committed to meaningful youth involvement. Once again, thanks for your generosity and support for POSSE, our youth and our future! Kimm Kent, Project Manager / Youth Worker
