Greetings Friends,

We hope this note is reaching you well.

On behalf of The Familyhood Connection Inc, a 501 (C-3) corporation in the state of California, we wanted to give you an update of our affairs.

With a mission of promoting programs that bring the generations together to improve communities, we would like to share with you our vision – #Familyhood and its “do now” strategy called 1st Saturdays.

We are currently seeking schools to implement 1st Saturday’s – the official monthly volunteer/recruitment day at their school sites by October 7th 2017.

schools can sign up at 1stSaturdqys.com/start/

Once registered, we will add your school to our map of places volunteers can go once a month to volunteer.

Do you like getting your hands dirty working on gardens? Would you enjoy planning and managing a farmers market in your community? Could you see yourself mentoring a group of high school Student Government Association members? If your answer is yes to any of these questions, consider joining us!

Our vision is called #Familyhood. The hashtag “#” represents the twitter handle twitter.com/familyhood to stay abreast.

We define #Familyhood as an inter-generational strategy that utilizes schools as a hub for community development.
#1stSaturdays (also can be followed at Twitter.com/1stsaturdays represents the 1st Saturday of each month to volunteer and recruit members to the schools three main school based organizations (SGA, PTA, AA).

#Familyhood is driven by two main motto’s: 1) The Friends of School motto: which states, ” every school shall have a functioning Student Government Association (SGA), Parent Teacher Association (PTA) and Alumni Association (AA). 2) The Mo’ Better Food motto: Which states, “every school shall have a garden, a farmers market and a grocery store.

The collaboration of the schools S.G.A + PTA + AA = Familyhood.

We are seeking schools to demonstrate #Familyhood in their community.

If you are a student, a parent, a principal , a community activist, a janitor, a receptionist, lol, it doesn’t really matter what you call yourself,

share Familyhood and its “do now” strategy to your school district representatives.
