Dear,

This letter serves to invite your attendance, support, and encouragement to 
attend a special workshop that will be presented.  We also encourage you to 
invite anyone you think would benefit from this important workshop:

Location:	27th Elders Gathering  / www.eldersgathering2003.com
Function:	Special Elders and Youth Communication Workshop
Day:		Thursday
Date:		August 21, 2003
Seminar:	"How to connect and communicate
		with our grandchildren of today,
		our elders of tomorrow."

Who is going to stop the madness of drug addiction and suicide that is 
plaguing aboriginal people around the world?  Who is going to fight to 
regain the vitality and health of our youth?  Go to any recent study and the 
numbers are out of control.  We
need massive action and we need it now!

Will you help us?  Will you look at your calendar for Thursday August 21 and 
by your attendance, support, and assist the healing of our youth?

At this special session we will have the opportunity to connect and reach 
our of Elders, Chiefs, and First Nations leaders with a message that it is 
up to each and everyone of us to rise up and drive off suicide and 
addiction.
At this session, we brought together three international professional 
speakers each with a unique message in how to connect and communicate with 
yourself and our youth who need your assistance now!

We are pleased to attach specific information from each speaker for your 
review.  Please also note that we are already holding a seat for you.  In 
fact, you have been added to a VIP section where a seat will be held with 
your name on it.


Knowledgeable Aboriginal Youth Advocates (KAYA)  looks forward to welcoming 
you to this special event.

Thank you for your support to assisting us in reaching out to our 
grandchildren of today, your elders of tomorrow.

Sincerely yours,



Kelly `Hirondelle
Youth Advocacy Coordinator
