Today's email from Leann;
"Hi friends,
It's done! The website for my new organization - please visit :
www.artforjustice.com
"Raising funds and awareness for victims of violent crime and missing persons cases through art related events and endeavours."
At Art For Justice you will see how it got started and where it's going and what we hope to accomplish. Not just raising money but AWARENESS!!
I hope to be working with soon with Beth (Holloway) Twitty and Anita Grinstead, mother and sister of two very high profile missing persons cases. One from Aruba, (Natalee from Alabama) and Tara Grinstead from Ocilla, GA. There are tons of missing women in GA. About 6 very high profile right now. ...that's just the beginning, here in the Atl.
So far we have raised over $1k since Thanksgiving to benefit Carole Sund Carrington Memorial Reward Foundation.....these are the people who put up the reward money to find missing children and adults when the families do not have the cash.
Please take a look and consider buying original art from the artists on this website (or at one of our events.) The art work is not up yet, its coming....next week I hope, but you'll get the idea. I will have artists from all over the country soon so check back often. If you like the style but not the exact pieces, I will find you the perfect piece, trust me!
You can help with Art For Justice :
if you are an artist and would like to be a part of it.
or interested in buying art, donating, helping at an event, PR, etc.
you company or business needs a good cause to donate to.
you are an art teacher interested in educating your student with the Keep Hope Alive -Create To Heal fund.
please call me or email at leannzafuto@gmail.com or artforjustice@yahoo.com . And of course, tax deductible monetary donations are very welcome.
Think you or someone you love will never be affected by a violent crime or go missing? Think again, the statistics are alarming and knows no boundary of race, wealth, status, or where you live. So....please help us. Its my mission, maybe you can also help make a difference.
Get involved. Buy ART! and be aware.

Sunny, this is wonderful. If I lived in the USA I would support this group financially in some way, as I believe there is not enough done for victims of crime - anywhere in the world, not just in the USA. I was involved in Neighbourhood Watch for about 10 years, here in Melbourne, and at the same time I supported a group known as VOCAL (Victims Of Crime
Assistance League). They were very active in the courts and community, but I haven't heard much about them in recent years. Reading about Art For Justice has motivated me to go search on the Net for VOCAL, to see if they still around.
Best wishes for a happy and safe New Year!

Me again.
http://www.vocal.org.au/Just found a link for VOCAL, but it is in New South Wales, not Vic. where I am. The one I was in must have closed down. Bummer.
