Some funds/food raising with RMT PFlag

In and one line our local Newspaper has a article on PFlag, However I really think its a press release but something doesn't seem right about it

So is it a typo or a mistake..

Are they raise funds or collecting food??

I have no problem with either, however I would like to know which is going on. I will support both, Just want to know which is which here.

PFlag of RMT has done alot over the past few years, they have donated many fine books to our Local Library here in RMT.. One being Mitchell Gold's Crisis: 40 Stories Revealing the Personal, Social, and Religious Pain and Trauma of Growing Up Gay in America. Which I'm sure no one at the Library would have ever brought the book on their own..

If this is clearly a fund raisers folks of the Eastern NC and those in the Rocky Mount Area please step up the plate and support this group.. They do excellent work for our local community. For more information please contact them pflagrm@aol.com or visit PFlag

Please Give what ever you can afford to.

What

Where Rocky Mount

Join the discussion on bullying and harassment in North Carolina's schools and find out what you can do to end it! This meeting, hosted by PFLAG Rocky Mount, will focus on the School Violence Prevention Act (also known as the "Anti-Bullying Bill") and on how a diverse coalition of organizations and individuals are working together to make sure all children are safe at school.

Equality NC's Community Organizer, Rebecca Mann, will get the ball rolling with a discussion on bullying and harassment in North Carolina's schools, including the School Violence Prevention Act's history and current status. Equality NC interns Greer Cook and Wes Nemenz will also be on hand to collect stories from participants about school bullying to present to state legislators.

Equality NC, speaker Rebecca Mann

This is who will be speaking at the focused on the School Violence Prevention Act at the Edgecombe community college. Lets make this event a memorable one. Lets so support for our LGBT Youths.

To Rebecca, women’s rights are just common sense, but an abortion rights debate in seventh grade taught her that not everyone agrees. “I’m still waiting for logic to win,” she says. A self-proclaimed habitual volunteer, Rebecca is the state president of NOW and a member of North Carolina Women United and the Guilford Coalition on Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention, in addition to her paying job as a community organizer for Equality North Carolina, which works to foster equal respect. Her short-term goals include working to elect quality officials, helping pass legislation that respects the rights of all people, achieving pay equity and increasing access to childcare and health care. Sounds daunting, but educating ourselves and others is a big step in the right direction. “I certainly don’t think you have to be a woman to be a feminist; you just have to be pushing for women’s rights, for human rights.”
