Benefit Laura

By Deb Turner

In April of 2009 47 year old Laura Allenfort went to a doctor and was misdiagnosed only to find out several months later that she had tumors on her panaceas, liver and ovaries. Just today she has been admitted to Cape Coral Hospital. She requires home care and unfortunately her insurance has a cap on that of $2,500. She is in need of receiving nourishment through a tube and the cost of this service at home is well over $3000 a week.
Laura is employed as an independent contractor for Sprint and if she is unable to work she does not have any income. 

I am asking that if you can please help Laura by either making a donation or sending gift cards from Walgreens, CVS or Publix to help one of the kindest people I have ever known. She loves getting greeting cards so if that is all you are able to do it will be greatly appreciated.

There is a benefit event for Laura to be held June 9th. If you are interested in attending or want more information on how you can help Laura please email Deb at debturner@embarqmail.com

Contributions can be mailed to:

PFLAG Interfaith Convocation - 3rd Annual!

By Nicholas Miller 

Sunday May 23, 2010

2 - 3:30 PM

Naples United Church of Christ

5200 Crayton Rd

Naples Florida

The PFLAG Interfaith Convocation is bringing unity to our community. A Committee of Clergy and lay people from Churches and Synagogues throughout Naples have created a unique service to engage our hearts, minds and spirits through music and prayer. Harmony and unity in song will be heard as a myriad of choirs will blend their voices in melodies inspired by the psalmists words, "Behold how good and how pleasant it is when brethern dwell in Unity." On May 23rd, everyone may join in celebrating this harmony along with choirs and clergy from a myriad of religious institutions. Welcoming people of all faiths to join in this extraordinary endeavor PFLAG is sponsoring the Interfaith Convocation.

PFLAG (Parents, Friends & Families of Lesbians & Gays) is a parent-based organization that was started by heterosexual parents wanting to understand and help their gay children. PFLAG's role is to serve as a support group providing a non-judgmental outlet for feelings, questions and understanding as well as making available resources and educational opportunities.

The Interfaith Convocation will be an exceptional opportunity to foster a sense of acceptance and belonging for all people of faith to pray together without discrimination, disenfranchisement, or stigma. The Convocation will be the chance for all of us, together, to share our traditions and rituals and to provide the critical elements of public acknowledgement and social sanctions that are strengthened by communal worship. The Convocation is a tangible demonstration of our community to prove how good and right our unity is not just by including, but also by celebrating the gay, lesbian, bi-sexual and transgendered members of our families. While each of us has our own individual identity, we recognize that there is a much deeper interconnection binding us to one another. None of us are alone, and we each must rely on each other to be able to use our individual blessings and talents to make the world a better place. This communal experience will deepen our human understanding to unite us in reaching across the boundaries that separate us, and to unite us in our effort to celebrate the joy of community, the gift of diversity, and the vision of harmony.

Participating with your family and friends in this endeavor you will make a difference. Open to the public the PFLAG Interfaith Convocation is on Sunday, May 23, 2010, at 2:00 PM at the Naples United Church of Christ, 5200 Crayton Road. A reception will follow the Convocation.
