Obviously Chuck Boston and I have decided to no longer work with each other. While it is for the best, I wish Chuck success in all that he does. I feel s though I need to clarify the structure of C1. There is a board and it is comprised of of three key individuals at the moment. Mr. Boston was never a board member, and frankly has no right to any form of disclosure. Second, Mr. Boston asked me to submit to a drug screen for a program that we were hoping to be associated with. I readily submitted as my life is an open book and I have nothing to hide in that respect. The chain of evidence was not respected, there was no seal, no signature, and i have no idea where the test was taken to for submittle, or by whom. Mr. Boston then informed me several days later that because the test came back "dirty" that i was going to have to step down, and that he and Mike Gregor from drug would be running the company. Needless to say, words cannot describe how bad i feel about this situation as I had such incredibly high hopes for Chuck's involvement with this company.

I for one thought last nite was a success - we did get a lot accomplished - if nothing else came of it we have a great base to build upon as far as getting our name out into the public. As a group we came together and put an event on - THAT IS HUGE - I would like to take the time to thank everyone who came to help and support

Good morning All, I want to digress from the norm this morning.
Forty four years ago on June 11 at about 1:30 PM a little baby boy came into the world and into the heart of the Stella family. This little boy was a very funny and bright little guy, well, he grew up and along the way made some blunders but he learned from the mistakes he made and now he had developed into "A Stellar Young Man".
Dear Luke, may you continue on the path you have chosen to help your fellow man, may you continue to have success and achieve all you set out to accomplish.
Have a wonderful birthday and as I said last night if no one makes you your chocolate cake, buy the hostess cupcake, put a candle in it and call me, I'll sing Happy Birthday Son.
Much love and Lots of hugs,
MOM Stella

The community challenge
Hello Community First Activists,
I want to make sure everyone here is aware that of the challenge to TAKE THE WALK this Sunday. Take a look! www.thinkkindness.org This is an example of a few people coming together and doing something really amazing.
Taken from the RGJ Article today:
The shoes were collected during the past few months by students at Damonte Ranch and Bishop Manogue high schools after he spoke to students at both schools. "I challenged them to change their community in 90 days," Williams said. The student councils at both schools came up with the idea and spearheaded the collection of 7,500 shoes by putting up donation boxes around town including at gyms and schools.
"It's a way to get people involved in doing something good," Williams said. "I realized once you start something, you create a spark and more people want to get involved." Williams, a black belt in martial arts, has spoken to more than 25,000 local students. He started a program where he combines his martial arts training with a program to encourage random acts of kindness.
His motto is "Kindness is the ultimate form of self-defense."
The program developed for elementary school students encourages children at schools to document 5,000 random acts of kindness. "It can include stuff like picking up a pencil for someone or opening a door," Williams said.
"I hope that eventually, I can document a million acts of kindness to show people what it looks like," said Williams.
He said Sunday's walk is an easy way for people to get involved, and learn what can be accomplished by taking small steps. "You always hear people talk about what it's like to walk in someone else's shoes," Williams said. "This walk gives people a chance to see what it's like to walk a mile in someone's shoes when they don't have shoes."
Williams said Nevada first lady Dawn Gibbons and Reno and Sparks mayors will be attending the walk.

Walk raises funds to send shoes to orphans!
Brian Williams is hoping people realize on Sunday how tough it is. He is organizing Take The Walk, a fundraiser to send more than 7,000 shoes to orphans in Nyeri, Kenya. The walk costs $10 and participants will walk a mile barefoot starting at the University of Nevada, Reno campus.
The event will raise money to ship the donated shoes that were collected by local high school students. Williams also hopes to raise enough to film a documentary about the project. "These shoes will go to people who haven't ever worn shoes," said Williams, who is a motivational speaker and founder of Think Kindness, a nonprofit he started in 2007.
