Happy Thursday All!!

 

If you weren't able to attend our regular Thursday morning meeting today (10.12.17), you missed a fantastic presentation by Toya Kaplan from Freedom House New Mexico. 

 

Freedom House is a faith based, three-phase Transitional Housing Program in New Mexico dedicated to restoring the lives of prostituted and sexually trafficked women. The program begins with a decision to leave the past behind and step into a new future. Through detoxing, counseling, and therapy, we will see these women transition into a new, hopeful and exciting life. 

 

Our club had great questions and we left feeling energized and motivated by the great work that Toya and her team is doing for and in our community. Because of this, a group of us has decided to form an RDS Team to participate in the upcoming Walk For Freedom event, which Toya described as their 'Superbowl' event!

 

The walk takes place this Saturday (October 14, 2017) from 10am - 12pm in Downtown ABQ. For more information on the event or A21, please click below:

If you're interested in joining our team, please send your RSVP to our President-Elect, Dacia Card at: daciacard@comcast.net ASAP!

 

As of now, our team consists of:

 

Dacia, Julie, Shirley, myself and my wife Erin. Join us!!

 

See you on Saturday!!

 

Yours in Rotary,

 

Michael Barrio

President 2017 - 2018
