The speaker for the Club’s September 21, 2012 meeting was Mitzie Schafer, Development Director for Epworth Children’s Home.

Mitzie gave a fascinating talk about the work of Epworth and thanked the Club for its financial support of Epworth in the most recent grant cycle.   After the meeting Mitzie emailed the following information that she asked be shared with the Club:

“Thanks Toby and Bill for the opportunity to tell their stories and for your financial support. You are a gift!  If your group is ever looking for volunteer opportunities we have three events coming up in the spring they might enjoy. They are listed below, and if anyone would like more information I am happy to talk with them, or they can find us on the web at www.epworthchildrenshome.org or on facebook. Thank you again. Mitzie”

February 15th – A Picture Perfect Gala – hosted by the Friends of Epworth

April 20th – The Moe’s Southwest Grill Burrito Dash – to benefit Epworth (We will need people to help with traffic, set up, clean up, handing out water and food after. Super fun event! Starts and ends at Moe’s on Main St.)

April 27th (most likely) – the Alumni Associations Cook-Out-for-Kids BBQ. (We will need set up, clean up and food prep folks. This event is on campus and a great way to interact with the children.)
