Elmers Youngest The Kid with a Cause Born in Washington D.C. and raised in a small town; Garrett Park; I remember carrying protest signs and helping out in the soup kitchens; it seemed everyone was standing for something. I started writing and playing music on the piano at age 8 – I was the first to play an original song at our school recital. By 17, I was playing original songs on the guitar, thru-out Georgetown & the Washington D.C. clubs. I have followed up my dreams with actions. I hope to raise awareness to ‘Causes’ such as homelessness, AIDS, drug addiction, the environment and the love of God and Country. Also on the subject of AIDS; I personally do not have AIDS but am hoping the song hits home. Peace, loves’ & hugs, Elmers Youngest The Players: Elmers Youngest – Vocal, guitar Arlin Earl - Backup vocals Lois Mahalia – Backup vocals Cougar Estrada - Drums, percussion Brian Fox - Bass Dan Zimmerman - Guitar Dave Zeiher - Guitar Tariqh Akoni – Guitar Those we support and believe in: www.Rock the Earth.org www.hydrogennow.org www.nationalhomeless.org www.WorldVision.org www.USO.org www.dana-farber.org www.justgive.org And anyone else with vision to help others. A portion of proceeds from the sale of this CD goes to help others. Research the causes or issues important to you. Look for a group that works with issues about which you feel strongly. You might already be giving money to one of these organizations, and that might be a good place to begin your volunteer experience. If you can't find such an organization, here's a challenging and intriguing thought: why not start one yourself? You can rally your neighbors to clean up that vacant lot on the corner, patrol the neighborhood, paint an elderly neighbor's house, take turns keeping an eye on the ailing person down the street, or form a group to advocate for a remedy to that dangerous intersection in your neighborhood. There is no end to the creative avenues for volunteering, just as there is no end to the need for volunteers. Give voice to your heart through your giving and volunteering! Bring your heart and your sense of humor to your volunteer service, along with your enthusiastic spirit, which in itself is a priceless gift. What you'll get back will be immeasurable! To the millions of people who volunteer and give, thank you. Just imagine what more we could do.
