Join us on this year’s trip June 23-29 to work with the women of Honduras Threads as they work toward building their new social enterprise into a sustainable business. In Tegucigalpa, we’ll continue training in an entrepreneurial operating system, establishing processes for fulfilling orders and working with clients. Then we’ll move to Roatan with the officers of the enterprise to continue exploring the market there and expand their experience in selling their products. Before we go, we’ll establish the curriculum together.

In Honduras, you’ll make presentations and work with the women in small groups. We’ll go as a group to make sales calls and debrief to see what we’ve learned. No Spanish is needed.

Please RSVP by noon on Monday, February 25: M’Lou Bancroft at mlou@hondurasthreads.org or 214.707.9560 Melanie McGill at mbjmcgill@gmail.com

MORE UPCOMING OPPORTUNITIES OUTREACH PROJECT: BACKPACKS FOR JUBILEE | MAR. 3 March 3 | 12:15 - 1:30 p.m. | Youth Center We invite all CFM families to join us as for a service project benefiting the children of the Jubilee Community.

Many of the children of Jubilee eat their meals at school and may not have snacks at home during school vacations.

To help with this, we are creating snack bags that the children are able to take home with them during spring break. Donations of individually-wrapped, healthy snacks and drinks–such as chewy and crunchy granola bars, fruit cups, pretzels and popcorn–are needed. Donations can be brought to the offices in the Youth Center. All CFM families are invited to join us on March 3 to help pack the snack bags. Please contact Regan Wallace, rwallace@saintmichael.org, with any questions.

The 120+ graduates of the 12-week course on the Enneagram will now have the opportunity to come together to share their experiences of living in the world.

These gatherings will be offered monthly both in the daytime and evenings through May. We will build on the knowledge gained earlier by discussing in greater depth what it means to be in the heart, head, or gut triad.

We’ll also look at how we are progressing in dealing with “security” and “stress” numbers–and so much more! For additional information on this Reunion Class or to learn more about how to take the course, contact Mary Ann Webster at maryannwebster@gmail.com.
