For over a year now we have networked with the entire Watts  <br>  <br> Community teaching, networking, informing and enlighting the residents of  <br>  <br> Watts on many subjects relating to, but not limited to agriculture. We are  <br>  <br> trying to combat the Drug\/Gang violence here by creating positive alternatives. <br>  <br> On January 7, 2003 I attended two different meetings in downtown Los  <br>  <br> Angeles with the grantors of some of the largest corporations in the  <br>  <br> City.  I presented the Watts Garden Clubs pilot Landscaping and Gardening  <br>  <br> project for Urban Youth and was told immediately to have these young people  <br>  <br> trained and ready to work by March 15, 2003.  The Watts Garden Club stands  <br>  <br> to secure a contract for new and exsiting \"greening and gardening projects\"  <br>  <br> all over the City of Los Angeles.  The primary concern for the corporations  <br>  <br> is to insure the projects will be properly maintained, as so they will not  <br>  <br> loose their investment \"dollar\". They want to create jobs for our youth to  <br>  <br> help stop the killings here. <br>  <br> Do you have any idea what this opportunity means for this community at this  <br>  <br> time! This means life, hope and a visible future for our children. <br><br> We need funds to advertise, distribute,and process applications, interview,  <br>  <br> screen, trainers\/training, tools, insurance, gas and Vans. <br><br> Please help us to help ourselves!
