This magazine will be dedicated to those projects with undertakings that build up the community; and actually possess the healing and light properties needed to
help change a world filled with darkness and a community that has become divided because of different
views.
We wish to provide the Community Trunk with information about new and delightful support projects.
There has been too much Junk in the old trunk and
it is time we start anew by peeling away the old and
rotted garbage and building a new community. Some
old things we should keep because they are precious
and should be preserved.
We hope you will be a part of the solution and not the
problem.
There should be no room for old junk in a new trunk. The things of no value has been thrown away to make
room for the new. We wish to be an avenue to the beautiful things and truth going forward by sharing those
things in this magazine when possible. We want to appeal to the rooted fans as well as the innovative.

AWARENESS
BREAST CANCER
Many have become independent charitable organizations in the name of Michael Jackson, and
instead of welcoming others to work toward the goal are separating and causing divisions among
his fans. This was not Michaels intention and I could only imagine how upset he would feel about
such a distorted show of Love.
We need to come together to bring the love back to the MJ Fan Community. As Michael Jackson
fans, we have established many different organizations and groups that are branches of The Tree
of Love. Each and every organization or group is needed and are branches of that tree. However,
in order to make the branches extend further and accomplish the goal of love around the world, we
have to become as ONE. We have to stop the bickering, the jealousy, the negative attitudes, the
backbiting, the selfish goals, towards one another and work together as one. We have to stop
going around hurting each one another.
7
His fans have many wonderful causes, but we are all branches of the main Tree of Love. Therefore as of today we need to reach out to one another in love to help one another. No one Cause
or Organization working on promoting the charitable Love that Michael taught should be independent from the rest. In order to succeed, we have to put all pettiness and bad feelings towards
one another behind us and start loving each other again, and show respect to one another like we
were doing in 2009.
No one branch is better than the other, but ALL ARE NEEDED to fulfill his dream of spreading
Love and Charity around the world. In order for any of us to succeed.
WE have ONE question?
"Can we find a way to renew the LOVE we had for one another on June 25, 2009" and where do
we start?

Brooklyn Artist David Hollier's recent return to London in September 2015 saw him present 2
new artworks, Amy Johnson and Michael Jackson. In Hollier's calligraphy pop art style the MJ
artwork consisted of the lyrics to 'They Don't Care About Us' and the works viewed from a
distance portrays a young Michael's face.

New artwork of Michael greeting visitors with open arms on the main steps of favella Santa Marta, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in the
area where Michael recorded the short film 'They Don't Care About Us'. Santa Marta was chosen for the artwork in an initiative
by the environmental project "All the color for you' and 'PintouRio450' and the MJ artwork was voted for by the residents of
Santa Marta and is part of the calendar of events of the anniversary of 450 years of the city. The artwork was completed by
artists John Mark Stain, Leonardt Lauenstein and Felipe Brito under the collective SerHurbano in August 2015.

The artwork was painted on the gate of an MJ fan by an artist friend in 2010 and is located on the
Avenida El Cerro, near Pedro de Valdivia, in Santiago Chile. The artwork is curious in that it is only
visible from the side and cars and passers by are seen to pass by and then back up to view the 'magic'. It
has also become a tourist stop as visitors, including a visiting Swedish Rugby Team, stopped and asked
for permission to take photos with the artwork.

On the wall in Mumbai, India ~ "Undecided and looking for a theme to paint, Hemal Gala looked in his pocket
for inspiration and found a sticker of Michael Jackson. Im a big
fan, he said, pointing to his sketch of a moonwalking Jackson.
Helping Gala were British tourists Nick Wade and Natalie
Hough who helped Gala paint his tribute to Michael, see Pics 1
and 2.
Pic 3 another artist pays tribute to the 'King of Pop' on the wall

Tulsi Pipe Road, in Mumbai is one of the citys longest walls
and in 2009, as an alternative to repainting the walls, the public
were invited to go along and paint individual sections of the 2.7
km long wall, in a weekend project Initiated and organised by
the BMC [Clean up Movement] and The Wall Project, a group of Mumbai graffiti artists.
Street children, doodlers, calligraphists, office-goers, tourists, expats, college students and people from the
neighbouring buildings showed up to take part in the project and were supplied with spray cans, paint, chalk
sticks, rollers. gloves etc., to create their murals.
Drinking water and chemical toilets were also at
hand during the 2 day event.

The new MJ mural at The Graf Lab at 1038 Venice Blvd, Los Angeles, California is now completed and was unveiled on the
1st August 2015. ~ see previous 2 and next photo
The artwork was completed by New Zealand artist Owen Dippie and the New Zealand flag representing Owen's home town
was hung alongside a Mexican and US flag prior to the unveiling.
In May 2014 Owen, to celebrate the release of theXSCAPE album donated his time, 8 hours, to paint a giant portrait of
Michael. Once completed, the portrait was then donated to CanTeen, a NZ organisation to support, develop and empower
young people living with cancer - "so that current members and future generations, can enjoy the magic and influence of
one of the greatest artists that ever lived". To see the drawing and a time lapse of this drawing see this link ~

Im preparing for a monumental journey and this time around I'm doing it as the captain of my on all women's
team, Team ChainChicks! You and I both know, Its not going to be easy, but it will be another glorious seven
days. And I need your help to make it possible.
June 5th - June12th I will ride my bike for the 3rd time, 545 miles from San Francisco to
Los Angeles to support the lifesaving services offered by
San Francisco AIDS Foundation and the Los Angeles LGBT
Center, in the fight to end HIV/AIDS.
Preparing for this journey will require countless hours of
training and preparation, and Ive committed my time to make
sure that Im ready. This year, Ive also committed to raising
$10,000 before I ride. For this, I need you to join me in my
commitment to help end HIV/AIDS. This amount goes beyond the minimum
required to ride, because I feel the need to do everything I can to help end this
disease. $10,000 will make a world of difference for the organizations benefitted by
this ride, and the clients they serve. So, Im asking you to donate as generously as
you possibly can, so that I am to lead the way for my awesome team.
To the people who rely on these services to survive, every dollar counts, and every
dollar brings me one step closer to hitting my goal and another step close to hitting the team goal of $50,000.
Thank you for making this personal goal a reality for me and for being the support that I need to cross the finish
line on June 12th. Together, we will make a difference.
Blessings,

eight years, the High Ball costume extravaganza has celebrated Halloween in an unusual fashion. The party is described less with adjectives such as scary, bloody and gory and
morewith whimsical, fashionable and supernatural.
Artist Nikos Rutkowski has worked for
haunted houses in the past, but his taste in
entertainment doesnt necessarily gravitate
toward blood and guts; for this reason, he
has enjoyed attending HighBall. This year,
he designed a carnival-style entrance that
will be located on N. High Street at
Goodale Street. His piece a large skull
with the mouth serving as an entrance for
attendees might seem frightening, but
its meant to be enticing.
The Friday night theme is Michael Jackson, and people should come dressed
in costumes reminiscent of the King of Pop. Whos Bad: the Ultimate Michael Jackson
Tribute Band will perform classic hits.

BOOKS
Copiously researched and documented, Hit Men is the highly controversial
portrait of the pop music industry in all its wild, ruthless glory: the insatiable greed
and ambition; the enormous egos; the fierce struggles for profits and power; the
vendettas, rivalries, shakedowns, and payoffs. Chronicling the evolution of
America's largest music labels from the Tin Pan Alley days to the present day,
Fredric Dannen examines in depth the often venal, sometimes illegal dealings
among the assorted hustlers and kingpins who rule over this multi-billion-dollar
business.

MUSIC
Artist Spotlight
The S.O.S. Band (sometimes written SOS Band; abbreviation for Sounds Of Success) is an
American R&B and electro-funk group who gained fame in the 1980s. They are best known for the
songs "Take Your Time (Do It Right)," "Just Be Good to Me," "Tell Me If You Still Care," and "The
Finest."
The band was founded in Atlanta, Georgia in 1977. The original group members included Willie
"Sonny" Killebrew (saxophone), Billy Ellis (flute), Jason "T.C." Bryant (keyboards), Bruno Speight
(guitar), John Simpson (bass), James Earl Jones III (drums), and Mary Davis (lead vocals, keyboards).[1][2] It was originally known as Santa Monica,[3] but later changed its name to The S.O.S.
Band- an acronym for Sounds of Success.[4][5][6] After listening to its demo and being impressed
with their sound,Tabu Records founder Clarence Avant signed the group to its first recording contract.[7]
In 1980, the group released its first hit single, "Take Your Time (Do It Right)", which was certified platinum and sold over 2 million copies. Its debut album, S.O.S., went gold and sold over
800,000 copies. Trumpeter, vocalist, and percussionist Abdul Ra'oof joined the band while it was
on a world tour.[8]
In 1983, the band joined forces with then-new production team of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis,
who went on to craft a string of R&B hits for the group, which included "Just Be Good to Me," "High
Hopes," "Tell Me If You Still Care," "Borrowed Love," "No One's Gonna Love You," "Just the Way
You Like It," and "The Finest."[9]

Lead vocalist Mary Davis left the group in 1987 to pursue a solo career, and was replaced by Chandra Currelley beginning with the band's 1989 Diamonds in the Raw album.[10][11] They recorded
another album with Currelley - 1991's One of Many Nights, which featured a few songs with a guest
appearance from a then-unknown Kurupt.[12]
More recently, Currelley has been active as an actress and vocalist in Tyler Perry plays and films.
[13] When Daviss solo career was not as successful as she hoped, she reunited with the band in
1994. Since then, Davis spilt from the remaining members of The S.O.S. Band, with Davis and
Speight both touring using the band's name with their versions of the current lineup.[14]
In 2013, The S.O.S. Band's entire Tabu Records catalog was reissued, as Tabu licensed their brand
and trademark to British-based record label Demon Music Group.[15]

First, well look at mechanicals from the recording artist perspective. Basically, if youre recording a song you do not completely control
(meaning that if you wrote the song, you have
52
One way to do this is to affiliate with a mechanical licensing agent such as HFA. You then register your song catalog with them, and you can
direct any inquiries to the agent. HFA requires
that licensees pay royalties on a quarterly basis.
The HFA mechanical license also gives the
company the right to audit the licensee to make
sure the payments true up to the actual quantity
distributed. HFA also has reciprocal agreements
with similar agents around the world, so it can
handle your royalty collections on a global basis.
For this service, HFA takes a commission on the
royalties it pays out to you. However, some of its
licensing services are provided on a commission
-free basis.
In addition, both recording artists and songwriters should be aware of something called a
controlled composition clause, which is common in many recording artist contracts. It
requires the artist to secure lower rates from
publishers on certain songs that are either
53
written or indirectly controlled by the artist. The controlled composition clause usually reduces the
per-song royalty payable on these compositions as well as the labels total mechanical royalty
obligation for the album as a whole. These provisions can vary in complexity but are usually based
on a percentage reduction of the statutory rate.
A common controlled rate clause provides that controlled compositions are licensed at 75% of the
statutory rate (a three-quarter rate) and that the label is only required to pay mechanicals on a
maximum of 10 songs (in general known as the Album Cap and in this example known as a 10
Cap). So if the artist chooses to have 12 songs on the album, the mechanicals are then divided
over 12 songs instead of 10. If non-controlled songs (such as covers) are included on the album,
another layer of complexity is added. In this case, the non-controlled songs can generate full statutory royalties and the aggregate amount of those full statutory royalties would be deducted from the
aggregate amount allocated to the controlled rate songs.
So, for example, say an artists controlled composition clause calls for a three-quarter rate and a 10
cap. They then record an album of 12 songs, with 10 controlled and 2 non-controlled songs. The
mechanical royalty rate would be calculated as follows:
Maximum Album Rate:
10 (the Album Cap) x 75% (the controlled rate) x $0.091 (the statutory rate) = $0.6825
Less the 2 non-controlled songs at full statutory rate: 2 x $0.091 = ($0.182)
The result is $0.5005 for the total mechanical royalty for the 10 controlled songs. This means the
actual royalty for each of those songs is $0.05005 ($0.5005 divided by 10). This is a 45% reduction
from the statutory rate.
You need to be particularly aware of controlled composition clauses if you are a co-writer for a singer-songwriter, as you may find yourself asked to accept the reduced rate your partner agreed to in
their contract. This can obviously create some friction between you and your partner, so this is
something you should agree upon before the song is recorded, and preferably, before you start writing together.
Songwriters and performing artists need to realize that in regards to mechanical rights, they represent two sides of the same coin. Without the songwriter, the performing artist wouldnt have the
great material; and without the performing artist, the song has no opportunity to create revenue for
the songwriter. The more you can educate yourself about mechanical licensing and related rights,
the fewer nasty surprises can come up in your music career.

Hey Fellow Travelers! Just so super excited about how one of our latest videos turned out that I
needed to post.
We had the incredible honor of performing with some of the best musicians in the industry today.
Robbie Robinson (from Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons) on keyboards, Russ McKinnon
(currently touring with Barri Manilow) on drums, Ric Firrabracci (currently touring with Blood,
Sweat and Tears) on bass, and Voyce McGinley on percussion.
We can't express how incredible it is to play with a band, especially when it includes the most
extraordinary talented players. Listen to our live rendition of Fleetwood Mac's "Rhiannon", which
we had an absolute blast playing! Just a quick note, please excuse the cut halfway through the
video, we were experiencing some technical difficulties with the sound, but everything was mended in record time and the video still came out really great.
And please enjoy how Scotty literally slayed that guitar solo near the end, lol! Seriously. Sometimes it's incredible...performing beside my not-so-little brother on stage, watching him soar and
seeing the amazing musician and artist that he's become. It truly amazes me.
We hope ya'll enjoy! Love you guys tons and tons

The Make-A-Wish Foundation is a non-profit organization founded in the United States that arranges
experiences to children with life-threatening medical conditions. In order to qualify for a wish, the child must
be between the ages of 3 to 17 at the time of referral. It is the child's physician that ultimately decides if a
child is eligible. Children who may be eligible to receive a wish can be referred by one of the following three
sources:
Medical professionals treating the child
A parent or legal guardian
The potential wish child
To refer a child, the appropriate referral source can use Make-A-Wishs online inquiry form or contact the
Make-A-Wish chapter closest to them. All medical information is considered confidential and is not discussed
with outside parties unless it is required for the wish and the childs parent(s) or guardians have given their
consent. A child with a life-threatening medical condition who has reached the age of 2 and is under the age
of 18 at the time of referral, is potentially eligible for a wish. After a child is referred, the childs treating
physician must determine whether the child is medically eligible for a wish, based on the medical criteria
established by Make-A-Wish. In addition, a child cannot have received a wish from another wish-granting
organization. Each Make-A-Wish chapter follows specific policies and guidelines for granting a childs wish.
Make-A-Wish works closely with the wish childs physician and family to determine the most appropriate time
to grant the wish, keeping in mind the childs treatment protocol or other concerns. Most wish requests fall
into five categories: I wish to go, I wish to be, I wish to meet, I wish to have, or I wish to give.
THEIR MISSION
Make-A-Wish serves a unique, and vital, role in helping strengthen and empower children battling lifethreatening medical conditions. The national headquarters and founding chapter of the Make-A-Wish
Foundation are in Phoenix, Arizona.The organization grants wishes through its 61 chapters located
throughout the US. Make-A-Wish also operates in 45 other countries around the world through 38 affiliate
offices. The President and CEO of Make-A-Wish America is David A. Williams. Professional wrestler John
Cena holds the title for the most wishes granted by a single individual, with over 500 wishes. Coming in
second with wish granting is Justin Bieber. The third top donor is the largest National Women's Collegiate
Fraternity Chi Omega, which has raised over $13 million for Make-A-Wish since 2001. Tens of thousands of
volunteers, donors and supporters advance the Make-A-Wishvision to grant the wish of every child
diagnosed with a life-threatening medical condition. In the United States and its territories, on average, a wish
is granted every 37 minutes. We believe a wish experience can be a game-changer. This one belief guides us
and inspires us to grant wishes that change the lives of the kids they serve. (Wiki)

Some outlets, (during 2003 MJ allegations) speculated that Michael Jackson was the
founder of the Make a wish Foundation but its not true. Michael Jackson didn't start
the organization but was involved since the 90s with them opening his home to
anyone expressed to see it. Since 1995, the Foundation has coordinated Neverlandrelated group wish experiences for children and their families to enjoy a fun day and it
cost to Michael Jackson over one million dollars per month in expenses.

The Last Charity Special All Day organized by Michael Jackson at his Neverland Valley Ranch for
Make a Wish, was a carnival-style Neverland Ranch estate of 500 guests. The invitation-only
event, set for Sept. 13th, was a one-time-only gathering, complete with dinner, magicians, games
and a tractor-trailer full of stuffed animals. Make-A-Wish Foundation was one of the beneficiaries of
the donation.
Here the pictures of the invitation:

"once in a lifetime" event at Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch.
We appreciate the support of the donors, volunteers and

GoFundMe Projects
Low income homes/Gary Indiana
Created October 5, 2015 Lavora Brooks
I started working at the
age of 15. However,
my experience of working in housing for lowincome families and individuals
began
in
1983.
In 1989 I followed her
heart
and
began
my career within the social service environment, while studying to
become a minister in
2002. My dream from a
child was to feed and
care for the homeless. As a minister in
my church, I was led and introduced to a ministry that did exactly that (Feeding the Homeless for
Christ) who not only fed the homeless and low income population, but prepared home cooked meals
for them as well.
The overall mission and purpose is for "FRG" to purchase/rebuild/renovate/sell homes starting in
Gary Indiana, then globally to make home buying a reality to those who would not be able to do so
on their own due to financial hardship or poverty. We achieve this purpose and mission through
Christian Values of Love and Support for one another.
The overall mission of FRG is to purchase, renovate and sell as many homes as possible, interest
free, to individuals and families starting in Gary Indiana and surrounding Gary, Indiana who would
not be able to ordinarily purchase a home due to their financial poverty level. FRGs goal is to
purchase/renovate and sell (1- 2) homes in 2015 with a long term goal of purchasing, renovating
and selling many more interest free!
There are many homes in Gary Indiana requiring renovations that needs a loving family and there
are many families in need of a home for their children.
Every penny raised for this cause will go toward the renovation and placement of families in a home.
We would be very thankful, just to be able to make this dream come true for just one family a year.

Miracles Do Happen
This year Mary Bosque a Michael Jackson fan who lives in Watertown, Wisconsin was told me that she had breast cancer and a breast had to be removed.
I knew in my mind that l live with battles and now had to endure another battle. l would be among so many that have a
battle with cancer but l would have to stand strong even though l knew I had the bad word CANCER.
Mary live in a small town and work at the Walmart as a cashier. Because of her surgeries she had to take off from work
which caused her to get behind in her bills.
When Mary finally did return to work she said life could not have punished her more when her 40 hours went down to
32 hours and finally to 28 hours a week. She is the breadwinner in her family so this caused even a greater hardship.
89
Mary turned shared her plight with Dilma Lowrance, another fan in the community, and asked her if she could assist her in
getting some financial support from other MJ fans to get the extremely high water bill paid. Dilma posted this information
in the group Life Has No Words and sent me a message asking to support by sharing this information with the community
and of course I was more than happy to do so.
Mary and Dilmas plan was to ask fans to contact the Utility Company and make
pledges which was a very good idea. Mary was making whatever payments that she
could toward the water bill but it just wasnt enough and the bill needed to be paid by
October 31st. With her request for help she also made clear her reverence and love
for God. She believed that God would move on her behalf and He did just that.
Before this message could be shared on a global scale Mary
received some
wonderful news. The Cancer Center of Wisconsin (Susan Komen of the Patient Advocate Foundation) called to say they would pay the water, gas and some of her
medical bills. The water company had received pledges from two fans totaling
$60.00 but Mary would need more. Her faith in God did not waver and she remained
humble. http://www.patientadvocate.org/news.php?p=971
Luke 1:45..And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of
those things which were told her from the Lord.
Surely this is her testimony. It is the evidence of the existence of Marys faith and
the appearance of what she hoped for. Miracles do happen.

We are petitioning the U.S. Congress to author a bill that would make it unlawful to defame a
person who is deceased. Slander and libel are not protected under the First Amendment while a
person is living. The same protection should be extended to a person after they are deceased.
The loved ones of someone who has passed on should not have to live with the continued
defamatory stories and false accusations that can so easily be paraded as fact.

I existed on my own terms. I was different my entire life. Some called me divergent, wild,
crazy, unpredictable and unconformedan apostate to the rules of the majority. I called
myself Gods creation and found purpose in the madness. When that day came, I didnt
allow other people to dictate how I should feel or act. I learned there was no shame in
imperfection because history had shown being different had the power to change
perspectives and eventually the world. This is when I realized that flaws had responsibility.
This was the day that I learned I was truly BLESSED.
