Domestic Abuse Project Update

We received this urgent notice from our friends at Domestic Abuse Project.  Because of our close association it made sense for us to help let people know. Please make sure you call the police if you encounter these people at your door.

---

DAP has learned of a rash of door-to-door solicitations in Minneapolis naming “Domestic Violence Project” as the fundraising organization. In one situation a donor wrote a check for $10 and her bank statement later showed the check had been altered and cashed in for $70. Often the solicitors are children.

DAP (Domestic Abuse Project) does NOT go by Domestic Violence Project nor does our organization engage in door-to-door fundraising at any time. If you receive any suspicious fundraising requests claiming DAP as a beneficiary please contact Sonia Palmer at spalmer@mndap.org or 612.874.7063 x217.

Most of us have the gift of human compassion and unfortunately at times this can be taken advantage of, especially during holidays. Some scammers try to fool people by using names that are very similar to those of well-known charities. Please don’t let this unfortunate reality close your heart or your wallet. DAP, and other organizations, need your support and your willingness to help those in need inspires us and keeps our mission alive.

As you can imagine, support is so critical to DAP at this time. We are seeing a 16% increase in women seeking help in advocacy and a 26% increase in requests for our therapy program. This stretches an already lean staff and you already know about roof problem…

Secure online donations can be made anytime at www.GiveMN.org or sent directly to:

We offer a special thanks to Richard Moody for planning and coordinating each event which has made a difference in the lives of so many people.

In 2010 our goal is to: (1) continue to support each other (2) maintain the family atmosphere (3) ensure MSP is a great place to work (4) finish the integration (5) win the JD Power award.

Moody Is Ready – Opportunity Calling

Over the summer Richard Moody was contacted about a local group of individuals putting together a reality show based on the growing challenges people are having finding work.

The idea was simple, find great people that could use the help of a recruiter, resume writer, image/communications consultant and stylist.  Those experts reinvent and prepare job seekers for the perfect career opportunity.

The pilot has been shot and the team could not be more excited. The cast features Jordana Green, Roshini Rajkumar, Suzanne Green, and is the amazing idea of Miquel Mcmoore. These are all the best in the city at what they do. When you bring in an ace producer like Joel Patterson you know it’s meant to happen. Don’t forget to look for great local businesses like Medtronic, Elsworth, kpcompanies, IamMoody.com, and OM restaurant.

I bet you want to see that teaser video about now. First, we have a favor. After watching the video please comment below on what you think. We need to have your feedback to make this a reality.

Watch Opportunity Calling now.

Richard knows that Obama speaks the truth.  We think there is a good chance Obama heard Moody that day.
