Welcome Compassion Meeting
2016-09-27 17:30 - 19:30 UTC | Calvary Chapel Raleigh – 7710 Chapel Hill Rd, Raleigh, NC 27607
Quarterly Welcome Compassion Meetings
SHBHU will have A Welcome Compassion Meetings every 3 months (quarterly) starting in January 2017 at one of our In Kind Facility Sponsors. These quarterly “Compassion meetings” are specifically for the following 4 reasons:

These meetings are another accessible compassion mission to welcome new and seasoned registered members and a time for them to ask seasoned Ambassadors, seasoned Small Handers, parents and leadership team questions about SHBHU.
These meetings are a time for new members to be able to share with all of us what drew them to the SHBHU mission and how they can be involved. We are as always for the community and run by the community.
These meetings will be an accessible opportunity for any Ambassador or Small Hander to present an “Anytime Activity” or a “Compassion Presentation” on any cause if they choose to volunteer to do that.
These meetings will be a regularly scheduled date and time for the Ambassador Committee to regularly convene in a separate room for 30 minutes at some point during the evening and discuss Ambassador involvement and ideas in SHBHU.

Here is the September Welcome Compassion Meeting Agenda:
