There are four significant types of trafficking:
Adult Sex Trafficking - Trafficking of adults for sex by force, fraud, or coercion in strip clubs, brothels, massage parlors, street prostitution, or internet prostitution
Adult Labor Trafficking - Trafficking adults for labor by force, fraud, or coercion into industries, such as agriculture, food service, manufacturing, domestic servitude, or hospitality
Child Sex Trafficking - Trafficking children, under the age of 18, by any means into the commercial sex industry
Child Labor Trafficking - Trafficking children, under the age of 18, by force, fraud, or coercion into industries such as agriculture, food service, manufacturing, domestic servitude, or hospitality.
Take Action: On January 11th, participate in the Department of Homeland Securities WEAR BLUE DAY to bring attention to the issue of human trafficking.
Based on actual results, intelligence, and intuition from implementing the Flag Lease Program, 'The Ulitmate Non For Profit Fundraising Project' is a manual for non-profit professionals and volunteers who want to implement their fundraising project to promote their cause.
Built upon the success of the Flag Lease Project, this summing-up manual provides practical, comprehensive guidance for non-profit fundraising universally. With tips and tools, knowledgeable advice, and real-applied insights from the actual project implementation, this healthy resource addresses the entire spectrum of patriotic fundraising for non-profits.
On January 12, 1926, the two-person comedy series “Sam ‘n’ Henry” debuts on Chicago’s WGN radio station. After changing its name to “Amos ‘n’ Andy,” the show became one of the most popular radio programs in American history.
By 1951, when “Amos ‘n’ Andy” came to television, changing attitudes about race and concerns about racism had virtually wiped out the practice of blackface. With Alvin Childress and Spencer Williams taking over for Gosden and Carrell, the show was the first TV series to feature an all-Black cast and the only one of its kind for the next 20 years. However, this did not stop African American advocacy groups and eventually the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) from criticizing the radio and TV versions of “Amos ‘n’ Andy” for promoting racial stereotypes. These protests led to the TV show’s cancellation in 1953.
The final radio broadcast of “Amos ‘n’ Andy” aired on November 25, 1960.
On Wednesday, January 12, the Rotary Club of McKinney Sunrise is presenting their annual Partnership awards at E. J. Wills Gastropub, 1910 N. Stonebridge Dr., Ste 100, McKinney, TX 75071.
McKinney, Tx was probably the first small city in Texas or even the nation to initiate the ‘Flag Lease Fundraising Project’ back in 1993. The Rotary Club of McKinney Sunrise started with 300 flags placed in the community. Sunrise’s number of flags subscribed today in McKinney is approximately 3400 and grows each year. Together, from the other two Rotary Clubs in McKinney, the subscriptions of flag leases in McKinney are over 5000.
Sunrise Rotary’s gross income from the flag lease project exceeds $125k and returned to the community 100%. Our most recent enterprises are an All-Abilities Playground in McKinney, in which the Club donated $500k to the project, which cost $2.7 million. In addition, the Club recently initiated a scholarship fund with the Collin County Foundation to provide scholarships to students that the Covid-19 has displaced. The Club seeded the fund with $50k.
The purpose of the annual event is to acknowledge and award the Partners that help the Club distribute and retrieve the flags, prepare the flag sites, and maintain the quality of the flags. Without the Partners, the Club could not deliver and sustain the flag lease project. We are very grateful.
Together with our partners, we see solutions instead of problems. And, we are people of action.
We light-up on Wednesday, January 5th starting at 7:15 AM. with socializing.
