Brennan Randall, Speaker: September 11 definitely works for me. August 6 and 7 is a little trickier. I probably will be out of town with limited internet access. Do you know what time the presentation would be? ????
Sorry for the delay in replying; I am on a summer schedule. I would be happy to help out. I could speak briefly about my experience as a teacher at a boarding school in upstate New York when the September 11 attacks occurred. About six of our students had parents who worked in the World Trade Center (none were injured) and we had several international students who were Muslim. This created some tension at the school, but also opened doors to conversations that promoted greater understanding. Please let me know if you think this would be a suitable topic.
Dear Brendan:
I was checking http://ifaction.org/ / and I saw that the youth picked you as their keynote speaker for their TIDE conference. I found your contact information through a Goggle search in a resource provided by Harvard University to the media.
My name is Carmen Clay. I facilitate a service requirement for graduation at Casady School http://www.casady.org/podium/default.aspx?t=28916 , independent, college preparatory, Episcopal School. The Casady YAC-intergenerational service youth council, http://www.casady.org/podium/default.aspx?t=29893&rc=0 and I are looking for ways to bring greater teen involvement and ownership of service based on values and to connect to youth of other faiths in Oklahoma City to serve together on September 11, and the weekends before or after September 21, & April 19 to focus on kindness over violence, peace over war.
One way to inspire youth is through motivational, engaging speeches. I am searching for people who might be interested in being pro bono SKYPE speakers for the 10th anniversary of September 11th. The aim is to increase the number of students from different faiths to serve together at the Food Bank on Sunday, September 11 from 1-4 first. We have Upper Division daily chapel time at noon, central time. I wonder if your schedule might permit you to engage us with an 8-10 minute speech. You will be part of a series of chapel SKYPE and local Respect Diversity Foundation speakers http://www.respectdiversity.org/home.html. You might precede Jeremy Gilley http://peaceoneday.org/en/welcome creator of the International Day of Peace. I won a SKYPE time by completing a survey and we are working with his people and his schedule for him to speak before September 21.
I have to reserve chapel schedule in advance so I am trying to line-up all the speakers for the year. Other opportunities when the community service-learning program provides chapel speakers are the week before MLK Day and during National Volunteer Week, April 15-21

b. Planting 50 trees around Oklahoma Schools between September 11- September 21: Carmen, I have prices for 3 gallon size trees, which could be delivered for free in lots of 50 trees by September 21 – see the attached application. I do not have prices for the bigger trees, and will not receive the new prices until late Summer or Fall. Please see the attached application for trees. The prices for the large trees are last planting seasons’ prices and may change. I doubt that the larger trees could be delivered by September 21. I hope we can work together to get trees to schools for the September 21 Day of Peace. I look forward to hearing from you.
