As parents we wanted to show our kids how this process needs to work, to be citizens, to not stand by. We fundamentally believe, as Christians, that everyone is equal.

With the club open nice and early, parents can still work and keep to their schedules and know their kids are in a safe, secure environment. And they know that their kids are doing safe and productive stuff while they're not in school.

We get a lot of families that come in together. A lot of parents take off work when their kids are off.

It's such a perfect opportunity for parents to work with their kids on a financial spending plan to talk about what's important. With a little bit of planning, the money part of (prom) should not be what you remember most.

Aiding my kids should not be a crime. Congress needs to know the laws we have don't work.

And if the best way to meet those needs that exist is from international offers of assistance, we have gratefully accepted many, many offers from around the world, and I expect that to continue.
