Reflections of Resilience:

An In-person Gathering to Recognize Those Facilitating Positive Changes in the Lives of Others in our Community

Noon at Glen Erin Golf Club on Wednesday, the third of November

SAVE THE DATE

Family Services’ 2021 Fall Event

This year’s event will feature Erin Merryn, who will speak on her efforts to improve the safety of children through what has become known in 37 states as “Erin’s Law.” She will also share her journey of resilience as a survivor of child sexual abuse. www.erinslaw.org

In addition, we will offer a powerful presentation of images of resilience captured by participants in our Neighborhood Resilience Project. The presentation is the result of a collaborative project with Beloit College.

We will also recognize Carol Wickersham as the first recipient of the Catalyst for Social Good award for her contributions to the community. Retiring board members Bill Flanagan and Tom Finley will be in the spotlight for their years of leadership of Family Services.

Ticket and sponsorship information will be forthcoming.

Mission

Our mission is to restore and enhance lives in our community through advocacy, education, counseling and case management.

In 2020 we're building

hope.

Hope is the elevating feeling we experience when we see—in the mind's eye—a path to a better future. Hope acknowledges the significant obstacles and deep pitfalls along that path. True hope has no room for delusion.
