The Trustees
Feb. 24, 2016
"The Trustees of Reservations preserve, for public use and enjoyment, properties of exceptional scenic, historic, and ecological value in Massachusetts."Who We AreWe are more than 100,000 people like you who love the outdoors, who love the distinctive charms of New England, and who believe in celebrating and protecting them, for everyone, forever. Together with our neighbors, we protect the distinct character of our communities and inspire a commitment to our special places. Our passion is to share with everyone the irreplaceable natural and cultural treasures we care for. What We DoWe enjoy and care for more than 100 special places – nearly 25,000 acres – all around Massachusetts. And we are actively building an extended family of friends and neighbors across the state that can help in their different ways. What We Are Up AgainstThrough more than 100 years of hard work and high standards, The Trustees have built a sterling reputation and a stunning physical legacy. Today, the places we care about are going fast, and the forces undermining them, including climate change, are moving faster. We need to tap the wellspring of people’s joy – in their communities, their heritage, and the natural world – and mobilize a whole new generation to care. The Trustees adopted an ambitious Strategic Plan, Trustees 2018, that outlines our approach to conservation in Massachusetts over the next decade. How You Can Get Involved

What I Fought For
Apr. 13, 2016
Dave Mann is a very unique individual. He served his country well, was wounded and partially disabled , received the Purple Heart, helped to save the lives of many in his company; and yet he feels he is nothing special. "I just did what I had to do because I was trained that way. And I love my country." You can meet this outstanding WWII veteran, have him speak at your next event, create a fundraiser along with his appearance and book sales, and introduce a 90 year old patriot to your audience. He went to war just days after his 18th birthday, not fully understanding what he was getting into. He was young, green, inexperienced. He didn't even shave. When he came back three years later he had seen horrendous battle, lost countless buddies, and cheated death more than once. He did shave now, but very carefully...around the scars. Dave Mann won a Purple Heart, survived the attack on D-Day, fought the Battle of the Bulge, and still gets a lump in his throat each time he sees our flag.
This 90 year old former radio personality and much sought-after national speaker speaks out about the war, about peace, about the American flag, and about what it means to love your country so much you would do it all over again.

"Stress Less and Live More"
May 11, 2016
My name is JoAnne Woods Young. I am a Mother (to an adorable, bright and demanding 8-year-old boy) a Wife (to a loving and supportive husband), a Sister (to my 2 older brothers) and a true FRIEND (I LOVE MY SOUL SISTAHS)! I am and always will be a daughter. It was my all-time favorite role and I played it well <3. Although my parents are no longer living, their spirits will always live on in me. My greatest joy in life is connecting with others. I have the sacred honor to walk beside you as you journey toward your own inner truth and knowing. I will gently hold your heart and help you heal anything that no longer serves you, I will highlight your gifts and show you the truth of who you really are….while I help to EMPOWER and INSPIRE you. It all began with a note from my first grade teacher. In her perfect script, she sent me home with a note that read, "JoAnne is a very sensitive child who is overly concerned with the welfare of her peers and the adults around her." It took me a long time to recognize that my sensitive and intuitive nature was actually a gift I have been blessed with. Since I was very young, I have always felt that I had a certain knowing or feeling about humanity. Throughout my twenties, I blocked my gifts with extreme busyness and work. In my early thirties, my mother-in-law gave me a gift certificate for a Reiki treatment. I had never even heard of Reiki at that point. I went to the treatment and felt completely at peace with myself for the first time in many years. My Reiki practitioner gave me messages from loved ones who were on the other side. My angels and guides came through and spoke to me in a way I had never fully experienced before. I had no idea this would open the door to a whole new life for me. Once I began receiving regular Reiki treatments, I was able to open up my own clairsentience once again. I began trusting myself and knew I had a gift that I needed to fine tune. I took many spiritual classes and workshops to further develop my skills. I got my Masters in Counseling psychology, followed by my doctoral degree. Through my own experiences and the changes I have seen in my life, I feel that my true purpose is to help EMPOWER others to live their BEST lives…I have a deep, genuine compassion for others and the innate gift to see you as your TRUE PERFECT SELF...not the self that false beliefs have created. I can see your TRUE PERFECTION and the AMAZING potential you possess! From all that I have learned, I feel I have many valuable tools in my toolbox which can help assist you as well. I love to INSPIRE others to be all that they are capable of being.…When we can truly go within to understand how our thinking and feeling from past experiences has led us to the beliefs that no longer serve us and that they are what is creating the reality we live in….Then we are empowered to make changes that will bring us whatever it is we are seeking and not finding by turning our attention to the outside. We must go within. |
