Thanks for the opportunity to join PHOENIX’s Leadership Training for Life (modeled after the MACG Basic Training) at CRCI. It is such an important work that you are doing. The appreciation of people who really want to change their lives in spite of incredible odds against them was striking. In some ways it seemed so little that I had to give, but I realized what value it was for each of these persons to feel the recognition of their human dignity by just a “normal” person taking the time to come and listen and respond to them as a fellow human being. I will share with others and see if we can get more turnout from SEIU 49. I would like to participate once a quarter in PHOENIX’s Community In-Reach projects, so please let me know what comes next.

Jean Eilers, Leader
