No EPIC Stakeholders Meeting Tonight
This is just a heads up. The Northeast EPIC group is not meeting tonight. Instead, in light of National Domestic Violence month we will be hosting three workshops at Friends Hospital on Monday, October 29th from 5:30 – 7:30pm. Dr. Maria McColgan from St. Christopher’s Hospital will be providing a workshop about Domestic Violence and how it affects early childhood development. Women Against Abuse will also be providing a presentation about the general affect that domestic violence has on children and Women Organized Against Rape will be hosting a children’s workshop about the “Good Touch/Bad Touch Rule”. Participants will receive a free catered dinner, a scented candle from JG Scents and a $50 Gift Certificate to Total Serenity Spa. These workshops will take place at the Scattergood Building which is located on the Friends Hospital Campus at Adams and Roosevelt Boulevard. I hope to see you there!!

St. Joachim’s Had Some Very Tricky Trays
A highlight of the Fall season is always the Tricky Trays fundraiser at St. Joachim s. This year it was almost standing room only for the crowd ranging from newborn to people almost as old as myself. A beautiful afternoon, last Sunday, October 21st. The pictures tell the story.
