Before Deciding

When our representatives are making important decisions that impact all of our lives I believe it is important to ask one basic question before making
those decisions,
Is this good for
the children?

Just imagine what our world would be like if that question was asked prior to making decisions about going to war, the environment, education or healthcare.

1Commentary by Elaine B. Holtz:

  • Shout out to all those who participated on the Zoom Meeting to support Athena House. It was an inspiring meeting and folks can see it on the NOW Sonoma County Facebook page and on its YouTube Channel.
  • MLK-Juneteenth Community Festival happened on Sat. June 18 at Martin Luther King, Jr. Park in Santa Rosa. It was an amazing event. A shout out to Nancy Rogers and her team for creating such a great program, to all the sponsors, participants and of course all of you who came out to enjoy the event. This is the first Juneteenth Celebration as a National Holiday.  A special shout out to Tina Turner, the emcee of the festival who kept the spirit high.
  • Special Announcement: June 20-26, 2022, is Pollinator Week, and if you are wondering about that tune in next week, and I will be having two special guests who will be talking about that.

2 Our guest Jasmine Palmer takes us on her journey of recovery from meth and it's drug culture through a 6-month sentence received for treatment at Athena House in Santa Rosa instead of prison. She learned again to be responsible as a parent and holding a job and to rebuild relationships. She owes much to the mentoring of her counselor, who was kind but spoke directly on what she observed. The therapy groups practiced remembering gratitude and positive affirmations to help change the perspective for a healing transition.  After the treatment there was the keeping up the contacts with her counselor and, eventually, she herself became a counselor. Today she is an advocate for Athena House. Jasmine joined the Board Directors of California Human Development (CHD), the non-profit agency that has had Athena House under its umbrella. She learned of CHD's intention to drop its funding of Athena House and started to reach out for community support to save it. A Gofundme drive has begun and on Saturday July 23, 2022, a gala fundraiser Keeping Hope Alive will be held.

About our Guest: Jasmine Palmer is an alumna of Athena House and has stayed connected the past 10 years by volunteering, working as a counselor, and being on the board of directors.
For 20 years she been using meth and living the lifestyle that came along with it and on November 9, 2011, she was arrested and fortunately some of her sentence was 6 months in treatment at Athena House. This is where she learned how to live. We will be talking about that. She passionately believe in Athena House and what it offers to women and is working hard to keep it open.
She has worked in the field of drug and alcohol over the past 10 years in different treatment programs. For the past 3 years she has worked in the medical field doing care coordination with vulnerable populations, primarily homeless and formerly incarcerated individuals. Jasmine is a member of the Board of Directors of California Human Development (CHD). She is a proud homeowner and has personally helped build her with the support of Habitat for Humanity. She is a single mom of two beautiful teenage girls, Emma, and Maya.
