Subject: [WWWEDU] New Bullying-Support Listserv
Hello Everyone,
Just last month a National Symposium about bullying was held in
Ottawa. One of the goals of the symposium was to help create a
blueprint for dealing with bullying.
One of the outcomes of this powerful gathering was the creation of a
bullying-support listserv to extend the shared converations which
began in Ottawa to include others across Canada and around the world.
I would like to invite you to join this new listserv if this in an
issue that touches your work and/or your life.
To join, simply go to www.bullying.org and follow the simple directions.
I would kindly encourage you to forward this invitation to others
among your contacts for whom this bullying-support list would prove helpful.
Thank you for your time and consideration of this inviation and request.
Sincerely,
Bill Belsey

INVENTOR CREATES NOVEL PET PRODUCT TO EDUCATE KIDS!
San Diego, Calif. - June 24, 2002 /Xpress Press/ - Announcing the "Patent
Pending" Status for "Koodels"™ and the formation of "Kid Angel Foundation."
San Diego, Ca., Barbara Antinoro, inventor and philanthropist, has a vision for
educating the youth of America. Her dream began in April of 2001 and now she
has
just crossed her first big hurdle by getting a "Patent Pending" status on the
vehicle to make that dream come true.
Antinoro's latest invention is the first of its kind moist heat/cool pack for
pets. It is organic in its nature and totally earth friendly. No electrical
cords or chemicals to harm your pet. It's a "Creature Comfort" and one might
say
the first "Pet Pacifier" of its kind! Its benefits are unlimited in how it will
serve your pet.
On each product will be a notice that will state, "A portion of these royalties
will be directed towards the "Kid Angel Foundation" for supplemental
educational
needs. "Kid Angel Foundation" is a charity Antinoro formed to help with the
educational needs of today's youth beyond the public school system.
"Kid Angel" will fund instructional programs for families that cannot otherwise
afford them. Additionally, "Kid Angel" will also participate in the effort of
creating "educational seminars" to empower parents with the tools and necessary
information impacting current educational issues. That is her vision, her
passion and her mission.
Knowing that this product has worldwide appeal, Antinoro is proactively
researching pet manufacturers that she believes would custom fit the unique
demands of both her product and charity. The universal appeal of "Koodels"™
clearly demonstrates to pet owners and pet lovers alike that this product is
just what their pets need and deserve. "Koodels"™ will bring lots of comfort
and
contentment for the lucky pets that have been given one by their Owner or
Veterinarian.
Stay tuned, this is just the beginning of something BIG…and remember where you
were when you first heard about "Koodels."™
