Hello!
After a summer full of wonderful experiences and
serving alongside new friends, our staff throughout
the US and Canada are so excited to continue the
ministry that was energized by our serving groups.
If you have served with us,
please share your trip experiences on our blog - email us your

| City Highlight: San Francisco |
|
|
I had only seen San Francisco on a TV screen before
I came here to interview for the Director’s position
with CSM. Thanks to the Tanner family of “Full
House” fame, my view of San Francisco was that this
was the most beautiful, not to mention, the cleanest
city in all the land. Well - “Full House” lied!

| City News: Changes in LA's Skid Row |
|
|
Over the past six months, the city of Los Angeles
has been trying to address the problem of Skid Row
(a 10X10 block area where 15,000 homeless people
live). They have taken many steps in the past few
months to do so. Most recently the LAPD has decided
to have 50 police officers on the streets of Skid
Row to help control drug trafficking and robberies
in the neighborhood.
