Re: Empower Yolo: Support survivors and families in need during COVID-19
Hi Bonnie & Gail--I'd love to donate but the empoweryolo donation page does not inspire confidence. It pre-loaded Gail's email (and asked me to click a button to change it). It's not HTTPS and says "Page not secure". Do you know if they have a better, more secure donation mechanism? Thanks for all you're doing.

Hi Lori. There is some school involvement in the YFSN group, which meet quarterly.

The next Resilient Yolo meeting is October 5th at 2:30 at the CASA/YCRC offices. But some to the YFSN meeting tomorrow to see what it's all about!
