Guys... Haven't been on the forums of late as I have been scrambling to get all my requirements (final paper, 50 LEGAL community Service hours and various other bits), together in order to Graduate law school December 15th.
That being said, I was checking out the forum the other day and saw your constant response to pushing everyone to Vote for AYRLA, and it really does touch me that all you guys overseas give a damn. In some cases i feel that you care more than some people over here on what we are trying to accomplish.
I wrote out a whole long response but apparently was not signed in and didnt realize my post didnt update (was doing it from my mobile)
So thank you guys so much!! This grant will in my opinion help really push the programs forward. As it is currently we run on budgets i bet youth programs overseas go through in a weekend!! So you can imagine what something like this can do for us.
Some updates...
Mike Kelly a friend who has seen and taken a greater interest into what i have been doing with AYRLA and the RIR has gotten so involved that he is now the CFO of AYRLA. As a Banker I think Mike will continue to great things for AYRLA. His email is

New Developments. It seems apparent that David French, RIR import player for 2012 and Youth Program Volunteer, will be coming back to Rhode Island for 2013 to take on the role of youth Coaching Director for the Rhode Island area for AYRLA, and having assisted in the programs this summer he is well aware of the system that we have built.
