Additional Announcements
The Write-Right Business Program (WRBP)
WRBP provides guidance to entrepreneurs who are passionate about a cause on how to start a non-profit in Georgia, as well as the sustainability of the non-profit through pecuniary resources, grants, and funding. The program also provides mentorship and guidance to youth wanting to be entrepreneurs. Many people want to start their own businesses but lack the skills and resources to become an entrepreneur. However, entrepreneurship paves the way for generating wealth and higher earnings. The benefits of owning a business extend beyond the business that is established. Entrepreneurs improve the lives of individuals, communities, and the overall economy. Entrepreneurship promotes innovation and self-reliance, as well as generates employment opportunities.
Nonprofit Sustainability Through Pecuniary Resources Grants and Funding Workshop
This 5-hour workshop will be hosted on Saturday, July 15, 2023, with a focus on providing the necessary information/instruction to newly formed nonprofit organizations for drafting grant ready documents required in order to apply for and procure federal, state, local, and private sources of grant funding. Through the Write-Right Nutrition Program, participants will receive a 30-minute lunch break at which time our staff will serve complimentary food to all attendees. Vegetarian meal options will be available. We request that all attendees wear masks; however, masks are not mandated. Participants will be required to wash their hands and social distance when possible.

The Importance of Good Nutrition Workshop
On Saturday, July 22, 2023, we will host The Importance of Good Nutrition Workshop. The Write-Right Nutrition Program (WRNP) supplies program and workshop participants with nutrition literacy information. This allows participants to obtain, process and understand nutrition information and skills needed to make appropriate nutrition related decisions. A healthy diet helps children grow and develop properly and reduces their risk of chronic diseases. Adults who eat a healthy diet live longer and have a lower risk of obesity, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers.
The cost to register is $5 per adult (price includes free lunch) and all kids eat FREE. We will be serving catered lunch from Maggiano’s Little Italy restaurant. Participants will receive a 30-minute lunch break in which our staff will serve food to all attendees. Vegetarian meal options will be available. Spread the word and get ready for a day of fun learning and good food! We request that all attendees wear masks; however, masks are not mandated. Participants will be required to wash their hands and social distance when possible.
$5 Per Adult Registrant (All kids under 18 eat FREE)
