Empowering to hold
Annual Meeting
GREENVILLE – Empowering Darke County Youth will hold its second annual
meeting Thursday, March 1, 7 p.m. at Tribute Funeral Homes, Greenville,
formerly Oliver Floyd Funeral Home. The public is invited.
“We’ve come a long way since our organizational meeting two years ago,”
said Eric Fee, president of the Empowering program. “Two summer
programs at the Greenville Library and Edison State, the After School
Program at Edison State last year… and we’re halfway through our After
School Program this year at Greenville Elementary and Middle School.”
Between the two programs, Empowering tutors and volunteers have
provided nearly six thousand hours of service to Darke County young
people.
“This wouldn’t have been possible without the strong support we’ve had
from the community,” said Bob Robinson, program coordinator. We are a
United Way Partner Agency, and businesses and organizations, local
foundations and individuals have all stepped up to help.”
There will be a brief review of the past two years plus a discussion of
plans for the future. “What we still need,” Robinson added, “are more
individuals willing to invest their time for our young people. Come
meet our Board Members and consider joining us in our mission.”
Tribute Funeral Homes, Greenville, is located at 1000 N. Broadway in
Greenville. The meeting begins promptly at 7 p.m., March 1.
The Empowering Mission: Empowering Darke County Youth provides After
School and Summer Tutoring programs to assist students in the areas of
language arts and math with the goal of Strong Students for a Strong
Community.
