BACKGROUND:
The Harlem Children's Zone would like to cordially invite you to the inaugural celebration of our Men's Initiative. This is an effort to focus on the enormous positive influence that many of the men in this community have on their friends, families, and businesses everyday, but are not recognized often enough.
The Harlem Children's Zone is in effect trying to honor those of you who are fathers, brothers, sons, uncles, nephews, providers, homemakers, friends and confidants to all of us. We ask that you come out to celebrate yourself and your family with us. A brief presentation will be given by various men's groups within our organization which are now trying to come together and reach out to the community as a whole. Please let us honor the individuals that you know deserve some recognition by coming out to have dinner on us, and let Mr. Geoffrey Cananda tell you about how we are trying to acknowledge your contributions. All those who wish to help us find ways to better acknowledge the men in our community are welcome.
