Follow your passion
The March meeting featured Emily Lahr, Director of Events and Donor Engagement at The Rescue Mission (pictured right) who spoke about following your passion and how to incorporate that into volunteering. Emily shared about an upcoming event being held for The Rescue Mission. The Spring Gala is slated for May 6. During this event, The Rescue Mission will have a story of transformation shared from a program graduate, serve dinner, and have fun networking, snapping photos on the red carpet, and bidding on great experiences and packages in the live and silent auctions. It’s a night at the Grand Wayne you won’t want to miss!
