AIDS WALK L.A.!

Sisters walking for a cause! What will you walk for?

                                          A Letter from our President

Moore, Oklahoma – a suburb of Oklahoma City – has been struck by a killer tornado that has left devastation, destruction and death in its wake. The images of flattened homes, uprooted trees and streets reduced to rubble are shocking. There are massive power outages and flooding – all which have left the city virtually destroyed. Against the depth and scope of this tragedy, citizens are both traumatized and inspired to assist in the relief effort. 

              Journey offers our prayers, comfort and support to all those affected.

President Obama has pledged federal support and has appealed to citizens to assist with the recovery effort. As a Organization we pledge to get behind the reflect efforts and will do our part to contribute to the revitalization of the citizens in the region.

               

Thank you for your generosity and willingness to lift your voice and heart in prayer for all affected.

Graciously,

Makresha M. Reneau

President Journey Mosaic Inc.

KJLH WOMEN'S HEALTH FORUM

Journey was so excited to participate in this Momentous Event at the Los Angeles Convention Center. We were able to successfully Test 102 Women and provide important information on Heart Disease.

Reminder : Heart Disease is Alive!

**All women age 20 and older should have their blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels checked at least once every 5 years.

**If you think you're having a heart attack, call 911 right away. Tell the operator your symptoms and that you think you're having a heart attack.

Journey was excited to make a change in our community by
donating our time and expertise to the Jeff Griffith Community Center.
Journey Member, Mrs. Tasha Stiger and the Economic Development Committee did an amazing job. Mrs. Stiger taught an amazing workshop to the Transitions team of J. Griffith. After the completion of the workshop.

Journey members held a small reception and donated over 55
jackets collected from its members and friends! Such an effortless
thought. Nothing prepared us to accept all the help and wonderful
donations of Gift bags from UCLA Aids Research team and
Versacold that donated 20 sterling silver watches. Gift bags were filled with toiletries all purchased by our Sistah Tasha.

Journey’s very own SCENTSATIONAL SOAPS donated soaps and special toiletries. That's what this year is about giving back and accepting people for who they are:

Remember

‘Journey Lends a Helping Hand’

On Saturday, November 19th, JOURNEY took part in a very special event.
The Union Rescue Mission located in Downtown Los Angeles fired up their ovens and deep fryers and began cooking turkeys as early as midnight.
They served piping hot Thanksgiving meals with all the fixings beginning at 11 a.m.

By early Saturday morning, the Mission had already baked 300 turkeys and were in the process of frying 200 more.
An estimated 5,000 people attended Saturday's feast, breaking records for the mission.  Journey was happy to work in ‘ THE PIE IN THE SKY ‘ and ‘ KIDS ZONE’ . “ The must humbling part of the day was watching ordinary people WASH the feet of people living on the streets. Now that’s , ‘ Thanksgiving’ ,

Journey's Pledge Poem The hue of us is simple We don’t require titles or messages from unknown persons to identify us We are simply pushing towards our destiny Restoring our right to exist Breathing the air from our father We are One Holding hands, captivating plans Remarkable Undeniably different Purposed for greatness We are Sisters Innocent, yet wounded Tatted yet not broken, we are Women on a Journey Not looking back but reaching back to pull up Satisfied with Gods design I am wonderfully made And simply trying to reach my destiny so you dare not stop me!
