As part of our intiative to form expanded, broad-based strategic partnerships with our generous funders, we were pleased to help our friends at Episcopal Charities with their biggest fundraiser of the year, the Night of Lights, at Delancey Street on the San Francisco waterfront on a blustery and rain-swept night in early November.
Here is Community Alliance for Learning Board Chair Kathy Kahn (r.), helping check guests in that night:
Since Episcopal Charities helps fund WriterCoach Connection, they requested that one of our coaches attend the event to talk about our program. WCC volunteer Janice Barbour, with her husband Steve, answered the call. Here they are (l. and center), in lively conversation about what writer coaching means to our students and teachers, and the satisfaction being a coach brings to our volunteers:
I was honored by the willingness of another person intimately acquainted with WCC to help out at the event: my wife Meg.
We were so happy to be a part of this warm and festive evening, which generated lots of donations for Episcopal Charities with a lively auction of fun prizes and activities.
