It was great FUN and I am excited about where we will appear next in our larger Colorado Springs Community!!

Marian House Soup Kitchen
Every 2nd Saturday of the month, up to 8 CSL volunteers serve at this community Outreach Project by serving food, washing dishes and cleaning the tables. Merl Wallace, Team Lead, says "We drive by them every day. They are almost invisible. Take the opportunity to know these people through service at the Marian House Soup Kitchen. See their smiles and know we are One.?
Visioning in the Community
Practitioner Ruth Meinking presented a session on visioning at the Ft. Carson Women's Equality Day. Ruth's topic was "Designing Your Destiny" and the women thoroughly enjoyed the process. Ruth said, "I smile to see how we can reach out to the community, in sometimes unexpected ways, and offer support and direction."
