<strong>Crisis</strong> <strong>Nursery</strong> Hosts National Conference<br />

On April 7, 2006, the Saint <strong>Louis</strong> <strong>Crisis</strong> <strong>Nursery</strong> will host "Real<br />

Heroes" a conference by Dave Pelzer. This highly emotional<br />

presentation pays tribute to those who have dedicated their lives to<br />

making a difference in the life of a child. Dave is recognized as one<br />

of the nation’s most effective and respected communicators. He<br />

travels throughout the world promoting inspiration and resilience. He<br />

has garnered commendations from Presidents’ Reagan, Bush and<br />

Clinton. In 1994 he was the only American who received The<br />

Outstanding Young Person of the World Award.<br />

Dave has experienced a truly extraordinary life. He nearly died<br />

several times by the hands of his mentally disturbed alcoholic<br />

mother. Years later it was determined that Dave’s case was identified<br />

as one of the most gruesome and extreme cases of child abuse<br />

in California ’s history. At age 12, Dave was finally<br />

rescued and placed in a series of foster homes<br />

until he enlisted in the U.S. Air Force at age 18.<br />

Even with all that against him, Dave was determined<br />

to better himself - no matter what the odds.<br />

Tickets are $20 and you can get the registration<br />

form at our website (crisisnurserykids.org), or email<br />
