TO ATLANTA CIVIC LEADERS:

People must constantly ask you, as they ask me, "What
can I do?" and "How can I find out what's going on?"

Because so many are asking these questions, we have
tried to provide new ways for them to learn first hand
about Atlanta's needs and to become personally involved
as volunteers.

In January many civic, religious and social groups
will join EOA in a START NOW ATLANTA campaign to alert
citizens to Atlanta's needs. The week of January 12 will
be proclaimed START NOW ATLANTA week.

I hope that your organization will be able to par-
ticipate by planning special programs, visiting Atlanta's
slums as guests of poor people, or by volunteering as a
group or as individuals.

I am enclosing brief background material plus
information about two programs which will be introduced

during START NOW ATLANTA week.

Please let me know if I can supply other information.
