Meeting Recap: April 10
Shirl Cave started Kingdom Strong Ministries with a desire to spread hope in her community after a career in journalism and working as a victims advocate. Her target constituencies were animal helpers, farmers, first responders, veterans and their families. One of her initial efforts was the Kindness Creation Project where she enlisted young children to write uplifting and cheerful notes for those in nursing homes as well as others she wished to provide hope for. This year she is sponsoring Entrepreneur Day for Kids on May 4 at Oscar Frazier Park.

CART FUND DONATIONS
Do you worry about Alzheimer’s?  We do not have a cure for Alzheimer’s disease, but we must find one.  Finding a cure starts with you.  Every year the CART (Coins for Alzheimer’s Research Trust) Fund gives research grants focused on finding a cure for Alzheimer’s disease. 
 
Have you given to the CART Fund this year?  The CART Fund is dedicated to raising funds to provide “seed” money for cutting edge, high impact research in hopes of finding a cure/prevention for Alzheimer’s disease.  The goal of the CART Fund is to encourage exploratory and developmental Alzheimer’s disease research projects within the United States. This is accomplished by providing financial support for the early and conceptual plans of those projects that may not yet be supported by extensive preliminary data but have the potential to substantially advance biomedical research. These projects should be distinct from those designed to increase knowledge in a well-established area unless they intend to extend previous discoveries toward new directions or applications.
