CLARE Foundation is a non-profit organization providing treatment and recovery services for alcoholism and substance abuse to individuals, families, and the community.
CLARE Foundation was founded in 1970 when a group of citizens began handing out food, blankets, and literature to homeless alcoholics living in Santa Monica and Venice Beach. Today the CLARE Foundation serves all regardless of ability to pay through eleven programs located in Santa Monica, Culver City, Venice, and Los Angeles.
CLARE is the only social model (non-medical) residential treatment on the Westside of Los Angeles. Their trained and certified staff act as teachers and coaches, providing the tools addicts need for recovery. Each year, over 25,000 people turn to CLARE for help with drug and alcohol addiction; 2,600 remain at CLARE for treatment and all others are counseled or referred to partner agencies.

From Greek sym (together) + poiein (to create), the sympoe is a poetic form which was first used by Joshua Gray, a contemporary American poet.
Two metrically linked stanzas of unlimited length rhyme A1bbccdd...A2A1 in the first verse and A2xxyyzz...A1A2 in the second, where A1 and A2 are full repeating lines and link to the other stanza.
Both stanzas must describe two distinct events but with similar qualities.
For an example, see "Loss" , where both stanzas are about an estranged family member of two separate families. In the first stanza the character is not the estranged; in the second it is.
Although a stanza can be of any length, the length of the entire poem is tricky. If it is too long, the poem may lose the coherence of the linking lines; if the stanza is too short, the poem risks a stanza that is abrupt and choppy. The conclusion of the poem can include one couplet (or three lines), but never in the narrative.

History of the AFJROTC
Air Force Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) can track its heritage to a program founded in 1911 in Cheyenne, Wyoming, by Army Lt Edgar R. Steevers. Lieutenant Steevers was assigned as an inspector-instructor of the organized military of Wyoming. During his assignment, he envisioned a noncompulsory cadet corps comprised of high school students. His program was aimed toward making better citizens.
The National Defense Act of 1916 authorized a junior course for non-college military schools, high schools and other non-preparatory schools. The Army implemented JROTC in 1916. Public Law 88-647, commonly known as the ROTC Vitalization Act of 1964, directed the secretaries of each military service to establish and maintain JROTC units for their respective services. The first Air Force JROTC programs were opened in 1966.
“(The) purpose of Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps to instill in students in United States secondary educational institutions the value of citizenship, service to the United States, personal responsibility, and a sense of accomplishment.”
(10 USC Sec 2031)
Air Force JROTC (AFJROTC) is a continuing success story. From a modest beginning of 20 units in 1966, AFJROTC has grown to 794 units throughout the world, with 102,000 cadets. The AFJROTC program positively influences our country by helping one student at a time. Comprised solely of active duty Air Force retirees, the AFJROTC instructor force is helping to form tomorrow’s nation by educating proud and patriotic cadets—tomorrow’s leaders.
