Which Charity to Choose????
Ready for a Change? Chris Donnolo, Associate Dean at Luzerne County Community College, explained how easily you can make a career change by attending the Continuing Education Dept at Luzerne County Community College. They also have a Plus 50 Ageless Learning program for individuals 50 years or older who can apply for a $100.00 grant to be used towards payment of a Career Training Program. This is the largest community colleges in the Northeast and they offer numerous courses including a new one on casino gaming. Please contact Chris for more information.
cdonnolo@luzerne.edu
It was time, once again to choose which charity we would donate our Fall Fundraiser funds to. We listened to two amazing women as they explained why their organization should be the one chosen. Each explained who benefits from their charity organization and why we should donate our proceeds to them.
Our First presenter was Mary Belin Rhodes, a retired school teacher and board member, presented on EOTC. (Employment Opportunity & Training Center of NEPA) She was looking for support of the renovation of the Seventh Ave. Family Center. She explained how EOTC helps women in prison, fathers reunite with their families and children, mentor at risk students who may otherwise follow a negative path. Other non profit organizations will be able to share this new facility also. Mary teaches math to women in The Lackawanna County Prison two days a week. You can contact EOTC at www.eotcworks.org and see for yourself why we considered donating to this awesome charity.
Secondly, We heard from an extra ordinary gal who not only was a childhood cancer survivor but started her own organization to help other children afflicted with this horrible disease. Her name is Tina Jezuit and her organization is called
Cancertacular™ Inc.
Tina's long and difficult journey spilled out of her like it was just another day. We intently listened, most just awe struck to see her cheerfully smile and explain how she never gave up. This amazing women is now giving back and doing it big time! We at SWORN are very pleased to announce that we will be supporting her and her efforts to help these children and their families. Please if you or your organization are will to help this worthy cause please contact them at, www.cancertacular.org Cancertacular, a non profit organization, helps children in 11 Pennsylvania counties, employs no one and is all based on donations from kind and caring citizens as you! Please Donate Today!

Notes from the past few meetings.... Better Late than never!
Here's what happened in the April, May and June Meetings. Plans were made and fulfilled in regards to our Spring Fundraiser. As you read in the previous blog post, it was a huge success, just one more in the slew of successes for the phenomenal SWORN members. We donated $1600.00 to the Griffin Pond Animal Shelter. Thank you for all of your basket donations and hard work. A special thank-you to Debbie Stella, Lia Sophia Jewelry, www.liasophia.com/debbiedoesjewelry who diligently worked on putting the whole event together. Thank you Debbie, you are a true asset to this group!
