Brags and Confessions:
Robin's German in-laws are about to arrive so she burnt some bay leaves because someone told her it would reduce stress. Instead, it made her house smell like a pot den. Good luck Robin.
Renee has been too busy to be at meetings.
Taro's kids decided to have tea with dolls at the American Doll Shop instead of spending time with him.
Jim H attended Bob Parlette's memorial service.
Erik H said some of the best tailgating is in Utah.
Program:
The Program this week was presented by United Way discussing the Opportunity Community. This is relatively new program, about 3 years old, that providers mentors, called "navigators" to families living in poverty to help them pursue strategies for increasing income potential.
Our own John Schapman is going to become a navigator and was inspired to do so after seeing the amazing impact this program can have on families.
Opportunity Community is in need of sponsors, navigators and volunteers. Contact Kenzie English at kenzie@uwcdc.org for more information.
