Hello fellow educators!
This week's TIME MAGAZINE has an excellent article entitled "Relationships
101." It is about teaching relationship skills to youth and includes Marline
Pearson, who is authoring our upcoming new curriculum, "Love U2®.
"You can either purchase the magazine or click on (or copy and paste)

Also, I am forwarding the email message below in the hopes that many of you
are interested in strengthening the impact of relationship skills education
in your state. This is a great opportunity to do just that!
Forwarded message:
"I would like to correspond with some of your clients that use Connections
in school districts, communities and churches throughout the nation.
Heritage Community Services (501 C 3) is based in Charleston, South Carolina
with offices primarily in SC and Kentucky and have other states interested in
affiliating. Heritage's primary activity due to funding has been character based
abstinence education where the benefits of marriage are taught. Two of our seven
components include a Marriage Initiative and Family Assets and Character Councils
(separate incorporation). I would be eager to meet and network with like minded
individuals using the Connections programs in order to strengthen the Family
Assets and Character Councils in their States.
If anyone is interested, please e-mail or call me. I look forward to
networking!
Thanks!

I'm sure that Mary would be interested in talking with any of you that are
involved with marriage education, whether or not you are using the Connections
programs.
Please continue to let us know how you are doing and how we can further assist
your efforts! Keep up the excellent work!
