This week at the Philip's Event Center we will be hearing from Karin Loftin from Sister Cities.
Sister Cities Int’l was created at President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s 1956 White House conference on citizen diplomacy, where he envisioned an organization that could be a champion for peace and prosperity by fostering bonds between people from different communities around the world. By forming relationships, he reasoned that people of different cultures could celebrate and appreciate their differences and build partnerships that would lessen the chances of new conflicts.
Through the handcrafting of products in a variety of enterprises, The BEE Community exists to provide meaningful work and a place of belonging for adults with disabilities. BEE Artisans craft high quality products like soaps, candles, dog treats, stationery and jewelry that are sold locally and online.
They want everyone–regardless of ability and capacity–to experience the dignity and purpose that comes from employment. They believe everyone that has a pulse has a purpose and a divine design to work and contribute.
The board has accepted Vonda Morrison, Bobbie Wiesman, and Morgan Menges' membership applications. If there are no objections, they will be inducted in a couple of weeks.
