Dear Cheri and the West Midwest Grants Committee: I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself as the new Development and Communications Director for the Br. David Darst Center. I am humbled but excited to assume this leadership role that allows me the chance to help advance the both the mission of the Center as well as the legacy of our namesake, Br. David Darst. As such, I am thrilled that one of my first responsibilities is to extend to you, on behalf of the Darst Center, a most sincere thank you for the years of wonderful support the Sisters of Mercy have given to us. Our organization would not be the vibrant ministry it is today without the critical work we have done together. Your assistance has truly made it possible for us to educate thousands of young people on issues of social justice while encouraging them to “see it …show more content…
This a crucial time for our partnership as the Darst Center continues to balance the growing demands for our programming with the toll it has taken on our available resources-particularly that of space and staffing. Although we have a solid plan in place that will allow us to meet this demands, we recognize that we will not be able to move forward without the continued support that organizations like the Sisters of Mercy has so generously provided. It is our hope that the Sisters of Mercy West Midwest Community will continue collaborating with us to provide this important ministry to those who participate in the Darst Center programs. With this letter, you will also find the Darst Center’s application materials. Should you have any questions, or if you would like to schedule a visit to the Darst Center, please feel free to contact me at 312.225.3099 or via email at development@darstcenter.org Thank you for your
Kimberly came to Touch of Healing Counseling Center as a referral from Oak Park Church. She is being considered for the position of senior pastor at Oak Park Church. The leadership team of the church requested she be evaluated for suitableness for the position of senior pastor.
Darci and I are planning our foster care recruitment for the 2016-2017 year. We are in search for local church partnerships and to expand our demographic as well. We both know you were involved with Harrison Bethel Church and we were wondering if we could get a lead or a contact person that we can discuss a future
As I started my journey here, far from me was the idea of making this place home, but realistically when spending majority of your time at a place, such thing is bound to happen and unexpectedly a sisterhood was born with Dehavelyn Barnes. I thank her for the continued praises and “can-do” attitude which motivates me even on my most challenging days. Thank you, Ms. Barnes!
This week, in the wake of tragedy, the world stands in solidarity with you, for all the good that you do, and the difference that you make.
I wanted to touch base with you all and thank you for your time and participation in our early intervention program. Overall, I think it has been a positive and appreciated service to our customers.
My family and I want to let you know our gratitude for your help for our mother. Even though our mother is not in the situation where she could get the hospice care, your help helped our mother to get the care in the comfortable environment. Before meeting ProHealth Home Care, we were physically and mentally tired because without the equipment and the help we have right now, such as the bed and the hospice team, we had very hard time on giving her food and washing her, and her bedsore gotten worse every day. However, after our mother went to emergency, we were able to meet ProHealth and give our mother the best care we can give with the help from ProHealth Home Care. Because of your charity, the hospice team from the ProHealth continues to
Becoming a distinctive mercy graduate means to understand personal truths and values,to mature, to be connected, spiritual, and to be able to accept responsibilities towards society. During my Mercy Today project I learned so much information about the current works of the Sisters of Mercy that connected with what I learned about the history of the Sisters of Mercy and their critical concerns. For example, I learned that a man named, Jim Wither, M.D.,which is the founder and medical director of Operation Safety Net, a ministry of Pittsburgh Mercy Health System (PMHS) and Trinity Health in the tradition of the Sisters of Mercy, he did his work on the streets of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He did what the Sisters of Mercy were doing in Ireland in the mid 19th Century. Since 1992, Withers has transversed areas under bridges, abandoned buildings, streets and and alleyways, seeking people in Pittsburgh who are homeless, to show them compassion by offering a listening ear, support, medical care and hope. It’s almost the same actions that Catherine McAuley, which is the founder of the Sisters of Mercy, and the Sisters of Mercy were doing on the streets
The continued support that you offer to SBCC is more than a source of general funding. To us it says, “I believe in your cause.”
If given the opportunity of this scholarship, I will eternally continue to shine the touch of Hope to my undeserved communities’ family and match forward with the mission of the Nurse Corps Scholarship program that outlines principal responsibilities of any nursing leadership with added knowledge and
I think it would be great and beneficial for the Conroe Center to have a Full-Time FA member there to assist the students with their Financial Aid. I just feel that individual should have some say in whether or not that location would work best for them. I usually don’t put up a fight, but it’s something about this situation that doesn’t feel right.
My visit at the shelter last was very meaningful. I enjoyed talking to Christina and Tina. I just wanted to mention to you that these ladies have great leadership skills. They are the reason my visit was worthwhile coming to the shelter that day. I was very glad I came, as I was able to get an abundance of information I needed for my future needs of this practicum. They were very helpful, and I really appreciated their assistance. They truly showed great leadership skills by helping me from the heart, as I could tell they did whatever they possibly could to help me, even though they had no idea that I was coming there, except the fact that a practicum student will be there. I was really impressed with their efforts to help me as much as they
Personally, I feel so fortunate that I learned so much during my rotations at the CL services as a resident and a geriatric fellow. Your expertise and wisdom have influenced my judgments and practice behavior. I am very thankful for that.
The Roman republic transformed into an empire starting in 27 BC with Augustus being crowned the emperor. The empire grew over many years with it reaching 1,930,511 square miles at its strongest with a population of over 56,800,000. There were many ruling dynasties in the empire’s reign that resulted in the empire becoming a military and economic powerhouse until its untimely end. The empire had many reasons that developed overtime that resulted in the empire’s fall. The Roman empire fell due many reasons including their failing economy, the fast expansion of the empire, the political corruption, and the antagonism between the senate and the emperor.
This year I gained four new teammates and helped each of them adjust into their new roles while making sure they felt like they are a valued part of the Donor Ops teams. Taking the initiative, I am currently training our two newest teammates on how we use Raiser’s Edge and explaining to them all of our different processes. Going further, I on boarded our newest hire, Anna, who comes from outside the organization by frequently making her feel welcomed at the Share Our Strength and on our team.
You’re my hero, an inspiration, a mentor. I feel like I’ve known you forever. The first time you came into Acton I thought what we were doing was crazy, from everyone standing on boxes to a levitating stick. This all grew on me quickly as I began to see the point and understood your passion for youth work. I can’t quite put my finger on how long ago that was but it feels like you’ve always been here. I honestly wish we would have found you sooner as it would have drastically improved my first year.
