November is National Runaway Prevention Month
by Mary Jo Vortkamp 11 Oct '18

11 Oct '18

Hi Michigan Team, November is National Runaway Prevention Month! WHAT IS NATIONAL RUNAWAY PREVENTION MONTH (NRPM)? National Runaway Prevention Month is the annual awareness and prevention campaign for runaway and homeless youth issues. Every November, participants across the country host activities and events that amplify the experiences of runaway and homeless youth and the role everyone plays in ending youth homelessness. Runaway Prevention Month is spearheaded each year by the National Runaway Safeline (NRS), the federally designated communication system for runaway and homeless youth, with the support of the Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB). The goals of NRPM are two-fold: 1. To raise awareness of the runaway and homeless youth crisis and the issues that these young people face 2. To educate the public about solutions and the role they can play in ending youth homelessness 2018 THEME: SHINE A LIGHT This year’s theme is “Shine a Light”. NRPM is not only shining a light on the issues runaway and homeless youth (RHY) face every day, but also shines a light on the resources available to youth in crisis and those experiencing homelessness. If you would like to become an NRPM partner please email Rachel Reynolds at prevention(a)1800runaway.org<mailto:prevention@1800runaway.org> with your agency and contact information to be added to our list of NRPM 2018 supporters.

Experience working with Cameron Zvara?
by Shannon Powers 11 Oct '18

11 Oct '18

Hello all, We are considering booking magician Cameron Zvara for a unique outdoor event we put on each summer. He would be performing to a large, all-ages crowd. Has anyone had an experience working with Cameron? I've had two people tell me his shows are good, but does he also show up on time and communicate with you readily? He has a pretty strict cancellation policy so we just want to make sure that he is the right fit for our community. Thanks in advance, Shannon Shannon Powers *Adult Librarian* Information Services Chelsea District Library p: 734.475.8732 X217 <(734)%20475-8732> f: 734.475.6190 <(734)%20476-6190> a: 221 S.
