    100 Women Who Care AllianceSedona AZ (May 26, 2021) – The 100 Women Who Care Sedona-Verde Valley Chapter selected The Verde Valley CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) Support Council as the nonprofit to receive $10,000 at its recent Giving Circle.  They will distribute the award on Friday, May 14 in Sedona.

    Their generous donation will be used by the CASA Support Council to develop an interior “Oasis Visitation Space,” where children in foster care can have a peaceful place to meet, play and learn social and tangible life skills. We can accelerate development of an indoor space by equipping it with games, crafts, basic kitchen utensils, tables and chairs to ensure the safety and creative learning environment the children need,” said Jayne Schwantes, president of the Verde Valley CASA Support Council. 

    20210526_100womenThe Support Council furthers the efforts of Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs), who are adult volunteers thoroughly vetted and trained by the courts to help children in foster care.  For example, the Council funds specific items like school supplies, sports activities, clothing and bedding for children and their foster families.

    Four Sedona women: Sallyann Navarro, Barbara Quayle, Judy Reichert and Carol Wallen began 100 Women Who Care Sedona-Verde Valley Chapter in 2020. Members nominate a nonprofit of their choice, three are randomly chosen as finalists, members vote on the finalists to select the chosen recipient, then members write a check directly to the recipient in the amount of $100, collectively donating a total of over $10,000.  Since beginning in October 2020 and completing three Giving Circles to date, 100 WWC has donated over $32,000.

    Anyone interested in joining the 100 Women Who Care Sedona-Verde Valley Chapter and making an impact in the community, please email Carol Wallen at roycar80@gmail.com for an individual commitment form.

    A Bad Moon Rising

    By Tommy Acosta
    What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams? Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals? These kids, these young men and women of color, are growing wild in the streets. From fatherless homes, unable to properly read or write, a dismal and destitute future ahead of them. What is going to happen when they reach adulthood? The cops can’t stop them. There are simply too many. They can flash mob a phalanx of cops and just run berserk around them. What are the police to do? Shoot them? Read more→
