Mama (of San Fran) gives BIRTH in Ybor!

p8280022

Mama’s Family has seen the Birth of Two New Babies this past weekend in Ybor!
Our own Nikki Ternon of the Chelsea Nightclub and Rob Shelly a ‘desiring “Sister of Perpetual Indulgence”‘ were pinned into the Family by boy kirk along with his Big Brother Matt, both of whom are
current Family members.

To be pinned into the Family is to show ones love, devotion and at times sacrifice to the COMMUNITY regardless of self serving ideologies…it is service for the good of ALL without question.
Mama, “Sandy Reinheart” is an original Tampa native, now living in San Francisco.

as always in service,

Times are tough…
i’ve heard that a lot, even live it myself to some degree…
when i find myself passing by someone who is homeless, or hungry, i
might avert my eyes for a moment…
but i find something in my heart stronger, telling me to help, offer
what i can…
it might not be much but it does give some hope, even if it is for a
drink for that individual…
it lets them know someone cares, even if for a short moment…
Well, i will  let you know the Car-Fund Drive for Mama is still going
and folks are sending in what they can, little or large, it shows
someone cares…
and i believe the community that Mama cares for, cares for her…
and i thank you all for that 🙂

Some have said that i should use PayPal, well for me to do this and to
keep accurate records, by sending either cash directly or a check does
make it easier for me…i am keeping all correspondence to maintain
full accountability…
So please, when your heart moves you to send what you can, send it to:

kirk schwartz
3135 Charter Club Dr
Unit #E
Tarpon Springs, Fl 34688

okay too…what everyone can do, is to send this to everyone they know
who is in Mama’s Family or knows Her and wishes to possibly help…i
don’t have everyone’s email addie.>

So, as Mama’s would say…
     ~Ask yourself” what can I do to make a difference” then do it
from your heart~

as always in service,
boy kirk
