Seeds Of Hope ~ Crisis Center Luncheon
|
|
The Seeds of Hope Luncheon was attended by over 300 guests and sponsors who wanted
to make a difference in the lives of victims and their children who have experienced
family violence and/or sexual assault. The event was held at the Wright Center,
Austin College, and featured a style show with clothing from the Thrifty Thrift Shop
as well as a Silent Auction. All proceeds went to support the programs at the Crisis Center.
Mistress of Ceremonies was Lisanne Anderson, News Anchor with KXII-TV. Joy Weaver,
President of PROTOCOL Enterprises, Inc. and author of the book How to be Socially Savvy
in all Situations was the guest speaker.
Thank you to Janet Ventura, Chairman, and her committee for a marvelous event.
The Crisis Center wishes to thank everyone for their support and the generosity of the sponsors and guests.

Jim Tucker from the Sherman Elks Lodge presented donated paper goods—diapers,

dispensing the items to survivors of domestic violence and their children.
We deeply appreciate the donations given to the Crisis Center by the Elks Lodge on a regular basis.
