If 9:00 doesn't work, come at 10 or 11, whenever you can!
There is no heavy lifting to do; just cleaning, setting up, decorating, etc.
We could still use two outdoor chairs for the covered porch, decorations, and a few final items listed here.

Ashley Morris-Johnson has arranged for an opportunity for us to tour the Texas Center for Proton Therapy, where she recently received treatment. We will see behind the scenes; where the engineers, physicists, and dosimetrists do their amazing work. While we cannot physically touch the massive equipment, we can actually view the patient treatment areas and see what Ashley experienced and more! We will be guided by the Director, Gary Barlow, on a comprehensive journey through the world of Proton Therapy. As there is a maximum limit on these tours, we do have to limit this opportunity to just our membership. Please RSVP here so we know how many to expect! |

Grace to Change
Jan. 24, 2018
With over a decade of sobriety, Shannon White—a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor, and Executive Director of Grace to Change—brings multi-modal therapies and education to local juveniles and adults with drug and alcohol addictions. White founded GTC in 2015, with the simple commitment that each client would be treated individually, based upon their specific issues and needs; and that no one in Collin County with the genuine desire for recovery should ever be refused treatment based solely on their inability to pay. White volunteers her expertise and services weekly to Collin County drug courts, and women incarcerated in county jail. Jason Hernandez, Youth Outreach Director at Grace to Change, and native son of McKinney, found himself on the wrong side of federal authorities at the age of 21; soon after, walking through the gates of prison sentenced to ‘life plus 320 without parole.’ While incarcerated, Jason suffered an unthinkable family tragedy; the effect of which would forever alter the course of his future. His remarkable story is one of second chances; an opportunity to tirelessly advocate for criminal justice reform, children of the incarcerated, and other at-risk youth in our community. He has been featured in numerous media outlets such as Texas Monthly, Time, and CNN. Together, this they speak to local leaders, educators, counselors, attorneys, judges, politicians, and others to foster awareness of the enormity of the disease of addiction in our neighborhood and nation; and how we as a community can be the hope for addicts, and their families. |
