Art is well

qualified to speak to people who have experienced trauma in their lives.

In 1969, his daughter, Diane, committed suicide while experimenting with

LSD. Ten years later, his son, Robert, was killed in a car crash. Having

been plagued with misfortune, Art committed his life to helping others

avoid the same tragedies by becoming a national anti-drug spokesperson.

Linkletter's

love for children is evidenced through his many years of interviewing

them for his television shows and through his books, "Kids Say the

Darndest Things" and "The Secret World of Kids."

The Benefit

Dinner and Award Banquet will be at the new Georgia International Convention

Center.

Southwest Christian

Hospice and Hope House, located in Union City, serve terminally ill patients

and provides respite care for medically fragile children. Their services

are provided at no cost to patients or their families. All proceeds from

the Banquet will go toward providing these vital community services.

Tickets are

$100 and can be purchased by calling Janice Wright at 770-969-8354.
