Dear Applicant,

Thank you for your interest in joining the 100 Black Men of Greater Columbia, Inc. The foundation of our organization is "mentoring," with stated goals to educate and empower African-American children, teens, and young adults. Our mission is to improve the quality of life for citizens within our communities, with a special emphasis on our youth, particularly in the areas of mentoring, education, economics, and financial literacy. Without the enthusiasm of volunteers like you, we would not be able to accomplish our mission.

We thank you for taking the time and effort to pursue membership, and we look forward to reviewing your completed application. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me or another member of the membership committee.

Respectfully,

Dana Risi, Membership Chair
