Sharing Talents, Sharing Hope
April 6, 2004
Greetings from the Mission Offices of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles and the Diocese of San Diego !
I would like to thank you for your positive response in regard to the border networking conference Sharing Talents, Sharing Hope. Your commitment to peace and justice at the border will be a great asset to all the participants.
The main goal of Sharing Talents, Sharing Hope is to strengthen border organizations from Los Angeles , San Diego , and Tijuana via networking. Through this network organizations will be able to share resources and to create solidarity among those organizations that seek the same vision of justice for all. This Conference has primarily targeted a small group of organizations based in Los Angeles , San Diego , and Tijuana that have demonstrated interest in such a network. Although this primary network may be small, we hope to expand the network through the success of Sharing Talents, Sharing Hope.
Thank you again for your interest in the Sharing Talents, Sharing Hope!
We here at the Mission Offices look forward to meeting you!
Sincerely,
Jennifer Neil
