Last Week's Speaker
Thanks Jennifer Giovanizzo's for this facebook copy:
I'm pretty passionate about a lot of things-homeownership, wine, friendships, love, family, let's not forget food but also Rotary. However, Amber Hanson with Ally Supportive Services is overflowing with passion about improving homelessness in Dakota County! Her team of 11(yes, only 11) work closely with police, Brian Sturgeon-West St Paul PD, and many other organizations, working tirelessly(and with a very limited budget) to improve the lives of others-provide shelter, necessities, comfort and resources.
She is compact but her reach goes far and deep! Spunky and smart-on the streets and making a difference.
Every city, every community has homelessness.
Be my guest at Rotary or reach out to me for help getting connected to a Rotary Club near you.
