For Faith-Based Community Leaders

February 22, 2010

Dear Faith-Based Community Leader,

I trust that you are experiencing an abundance of blessings. I am sending this letter to invite you to attend the Follow-up Faith-Based Educational Forum which will be held on Friday, February 26, 2010 from 9:00-12:00 p.m. at the Pinetops Town Hall located at 101 E. Hamlet St. Pinetops, NC.

Where there is unity there is strength! Please join us in this effort and plan to attend this forum. If you are unable to attend, we welcome any representative from your faith-based institution. WE NEED YOUR VOICE!

The focus of this educational forum will be:

1. Building strong collaborative efforts around early care and education

2. Share an update on Faith-Based/School Partnership

3. Building a Faith-Based Educational Network

4. Discuss how the Faith-Based community can partner with DEPC to create a better future for

children.

In order to adequately provide refreshments, please pre-register by calling 252-985-4300 prior to February 26. If you need additional information or have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact me via phone at (252) 985-4300 ext. 235 or via email at Jbellamy@depc.org. I look forward to our working together. Thank you for your partnership, commitment, and our continued collaboration in moving forward in this Faith-Based Initiative.

Make it a Great Day,

James Bellamy
