Come out to Lake Merritt this Saturday, May 20th, for the FYA Walk and Resource Fair! Enjoy a brisk walk around the lake, listen to great music, and browse the Resource Fair. There will be on site registration starting at 9:00 a.m. ($40 for adults; $20 for seniors and children; FREE for current and former foster youth.) Meet at the Lake Merritt Band Stand area near Fairyland on Bellevue Avenue off of Grand.
The goal of the walk is to raise awareness about the needs of youth transitioning from foster care and to raise funds for the work of the alliance.
All registered walkers will receive a beautiful t-shirt. An iPod Shuffle will go to the walker bringing in the highest contribution.
Registration and Resource Fair begin at 9:00 a.m. Supervisor Keith Carson will speak at 9:45, followed by spoken word performances. Walk will begin at 10:00.

2006 Call for Fellowship Applications
The Greek philosopher Archimedes wrote:
Give me a place to stand, and I will move the Earth.
Did you become a nonprofit executive director to move the Earth or to move paper around your desk? If you answered yes to the former, LeaderSpring will give you a meaningful place to stand. Through participation in a vibrant and engaging community of leaders, we will help you move the Earth – for your clients and for the ideals that drew you to community service.
LeaderSpring invites talented and experienced nonprofit executive directors based in Oakland and surrounding East Bay communities to apply to our two-year, on-the-job Fellowship. Built on a nine-year proven track record, this Fellowship is highly in demand by executives who are leading their agencies to the next horizon of growth. Selected Fellows actively engage in overnight retreats, monthly day-long gatherings, workshops with seasoned trainers, and a customized week-long study trip to a nationally respected agency.
As a LeaderSpring Fellow, you will have the opportunity to experience personal transformation, as well as achieve exponential impact on behalf of the agency you lead and the communities you serve. Through participation in the Fellowship, you will:
* Renew your personal energy and commitment to your work;
* Strengthen your leadership by tapping into your inner resources;
* Sharpen your management skills by focusing on practical, real-time issues;
* Enhance the performance of your organization; and
* Build long-lasting bonds with your peers, enabling cross-sector partnerships and access to a richly diverse, local peer network.
The Class of 2008 East Bay Fellowship will be awarded to fourteen select leaders at no cost to them or their agencies. Fellows will continue to lead their nonprofits during the fellowship, which will begin in October 2006 and conclude in September 2008. Applications are due July 7, 2006 at 5:00 p.m. Please note that applications will be distributed following a preliminary screening to determine eligibility.
Fellowships are made possible this year thanks to: The California Endowment, the East Bay Community Foundation, the David B. Gold Foundation, the Evelyn and Walter Haas, Jr. Fund, the Walter & Elise Haas Fund, The James Irvine Foundation, Kaiser Permanente, The San Francisco Foundation, the Trio Foundation, Wells Fargo, and the Whitman Institute. LeaderSpring is a project of the Tides Center. For more information about the Fellowship, please visit LeaderSpring at www.leaderspring.org , or contact Karen Anselmo at (510) 286-8949 or karen@leaderspring.org.
