We will meet Wednesday evening, Feb. 1st, 2017 at 5:30 PM in the Seton Room at the Catholic Information Center, where we were last month. Erin Van Maanen from the Refugee Education Center will join us to help us learn more about her organization and how we can work effectively with them. Anyone interested in assisting refugees is invited to come to any of our meetings.
We are now scheduled at the CIC at 5:30 PM on the first Wednesday of each month. Please mark your calendars. And please forward any ideas you have about future topics or organizations you'd like to know more about. I'll be happy to see who I can get.
Given the recent political developments regarding refugees, it's a very good time to recruit volunteers. So, to that end, attached is a posting for the Social Justice Web site. If you run across anyone interested in helping refugees, please direct them to the web site for more information or have them call me at 456-1486. The information should be on the site in a day or so.
See you all on Wednesday!
