A Rewarding Volunteer Opportunity for Women

 For many years, our congregation has financially supported Better Decisions, a nonprofit organization that teaches decision-making skills to inmates at the Tennessee Prison for Women.   Won’t you consider joining the program this fall?

The commitment involves attending the volunteer training weekend Sept. 11-12 (9-4 on Saturday, 1-5 on Sunday), meeting with your inmate partner for one hour weekly during the weeks Sept. 20-Nov. 8, and attending graduation at 6:00 p.m. on Nov. 15.  The training will be held right here at Westminster, and you can register online at www.betterdecisions.org.  Deadline:  AUGUST 1.

Please note that the volunteer training weekend occurs just once a year.  If you’re interested in being part of this potentially life-changing program, but can’t make the Sept. 11-12 training, you’ll have to wait until September 2011 to participate. 

For more information, please contact Program Director Kathy Masulis at betterdecisions@comcast.net or at 832-8327.
