  HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
                             FROM THE CENTER FOR HUMAN RESOURCES
 
  On the occasion of your birthday, we celebrate you and seek to assist our neighbors on your behalf during difficult times.

    In honor of your upcoming birthday, the Center for Human Resources has made a prudent gift to the Geoffrey H. Palmer Center for Entrepreneurship and the Law at the Caruso School of Law to support their micro-finance program in conjunction with Union Rescue Mission.
    Law students and other volunteers help train and coach homeless individuals as they create business plans and transition to independent living. Upon successful completion of rigorous training and screening, graduates of the program may receive a small loan made possible through local citizens to start their business ventures.
For more information or ways in which you may become involved in this worthwhile program, please follow the link below:
 
  �Birthdays need to be celebrated. I think it is more important to celebrate a birthday than a successful exam, a promotion, or a victory. Because to celebrate a birthday means to say to someone: �Thank you for being you.� Celebrating a birthday reminds us of the goodness of life, and in this spirit we really need to celebrate people�s birthdays every day, by showing gratitude, kindness, forgiveness, gentleness and affection. These are ways of saying: �It�s good that you are alive; it�s good that you are walking with me on this earth. Let�s be glad and rejoice. This is the day that God has made for us to be and to be together.��
