Circles are helped by the Hutchinson Community Foundation and by United Way to help alleviate poverty. They meet at Trinity United Methodist Church. It is a 13 week class that finishes with a future goal story. Families are partnered with a mentor to help with their familial goals, Rachel went through the program. They create intentional relationships with mentors. Circles have added a location at Avenue A school to have a non-church location. They are constantly adapting. Hope contains 2 stages. The 1st is to create stability via programs such as First Call for Help http://www.firstcallreno.com/ and New Beginnings http://www.newbeginnings-inc.org/ . The 2nd is to work on making a change.DrawingsTom Hymer didnt know the newsletter question!THEN he was drawn for the 50/50. Is anyone shuffling these tickets?Tom drew for $5.
