Hello everyone. I hope you all are enjoying this great Fall weather. I would like to start by thanking everyone that came to our Grand Opening! What a success and such a delight to see all our supporters gathered. I would like to send special thanks to our speakers, volunteers, and sponsors. Project Light felt very celebrated by each, and every one of you and your hard work was much appreciated.
The staff has been working on volunteer training with several new volunteers joining Project Light these last few weeks. Having volunteers is key to our mission and allows us to get into our community to spread awareness. If any of you fine folks have a few hours to spare each month, please join us. We are always busy making care bags, working on our next event, giving presentations, or setting up at various occurrences in the community. Come partner with us!!
We are so excited to be part of a four-part webinar series with the N.C. Demand Reduction Task Force. The series will be focused on The Intersection of Technology & the Demand for Human Trafficking. Dr. Duncan will be facilitating conversations with leaders of the INVICTUS Project and Street Grace on how technology is being used to assist law enforcement with lowering the demand in N.C. on November 6th, at 2:00. We would love to have you join us. Registration is now open. See the flyer on page 9 for more information.
Project Light will be the keynote speaker, along with several others at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, November 23rd at 9:30 a.m. - 12:30p.m., Hosted by The Catholic Charities of the Charlotte Diocese. We are thrilled to be invited to this event, and we hope to leave a footprint with all that attend and find more supporters within our community in fighting this epidemic with us. We encourage all parents that have children that are on social media to be here. Online child exploitation is one of the fastest growing crimes.
We will have more details next month on our annual Human Trafficking Awareness Day event, January 11th, 2025, that you will not want to miss, and of course our 2025 Summer Fundraiser!! Take care of one another and have a great rest of your month.
Mahalo, (fundraiser hint)
