Dare to Care
During the month of December the Peachtree Center community is sponsoring “Dare to Care” a charity drive for living needs. They will be accepting donations of new or gently worn shoes, clothing, blanket, sleeping bags, gloves and personal needs such as shampoo, toothbrushes and toothpaste. A collection bin will be located next to the Information Booth in the Food Court.
The items collected will go to support the work of Clifton Sanctuary Ministries, Safe House Outreach Program and Retreat on the Street; three Atlanta based ministries that work with the people who are homeless.
On each Thursday in December (the 1st,8th, 15th & 22nd) these organizations will have representatives at information tables in the Food Court from 7:30 AM until 2:30 PM. If you are in the area be sure to stop by and learn more about each ministry.
We would like to the thank Parkway Realty Services, the management company for Peachtree Center for sponsoring and promoting “Dare to Care”.
Annual Dinner & Graduation Celebration
Our Annual Dinner & Graduation Celebration is a little more than a month away. This year we will gather on Sunday the 25th of September at North Avenue Presbyterian Church. The festivities will begin at 6PM but plan to arrive early to spend time with our supporters, fellow volunteers, our current guests and of course the graduates. See the Annual Dinner page for more information and to reserve your table at the dinner.
HUNGER WALK
The Atlanta Community Food Bank has announced that the Hunger Walk
will be Sunday, March 13 at 2pm, starting and ending at Turner Field.
We participated last year and raised a good amount of money for
Clifton and it was a lot of fun, albeit a little chilly.
The way the Hunger Walk works is this….if we collect donations or
get people to donate online to the Food Bank and designate Clifton as
their agency, we get either 60% or 70%, depending on how they donate -
we get 70% for online donations and 60% of check and cash donations -
credited to our account. We raised over $2000 last year and, as such,
got about $1250 credited to our Food Bank account.
TOASTMASTERS
Toastmasters meets at Clifton every 1st and 3rd Sunday of each month. You are certainly welcome to join us and get over that fear of public speaking! You’ll learn a good bit about the great men who reside at Clifton, in the process, and you’ll never utter an umm or ahh again during a speech!
