Prevent Child Abuse Missouri
St. Louis, Missouri

Greetings:

It is my great pleasure to extend a warm welcome to the members of Prevent Child Abuse Missouri and everyone attending its 14^th National Conference on Child Abuse and Neglect to St. Louis.

We are pleased that you have chosen St. Louis as the site to hold your conference, which will serve as a gateway to your successful efforts in advancing your mission and goals. Effective child abuse prevention programs succeed because of partnerships created among social service agencies, schools and organizations such as this.

I would like to extend an invitation to our visitors to explore our great city. St. Louis has a rich history of having some of the quaintest neighborhoods of every ethnic culture, a wide array of shops, galleries, outstanding restaurants, and arts and entertainment. St. Louis is a city of unsurpassed beauty — a city of natural and man-made wonders, where you will find beautiful riverfront parks, the St. Louis Zoo, and the Gateway Arch.

The City of St. Louis encourages all citizens to join in a national effort to raise awareness and help prevent child abuse and neglect and become involved in supporting parents to raise their children in a safe, nurturing environment.

I extend my best wishes to you for a successful conference and to our visitors, an enjoyable stay in St. Louis.

Sincerely,

Francis G. Slay
Mayor, City of St. Louis
