Prospective volunteers approach Anna Marie’s Alliance with many innovative and creative ideas.  Our most recent is from a woman named Kristin Vonnegut, a former college professor who left teaching to return to her first love, sewing. She took up upholstery work soon after, using books and instructional DVDs as her guide.

 Attending the World Conference on Women’s Shelters this past February was a thrilling experience. Over 1600 women and men from over 80 countries spent four days in Washington, DC sharing stories, learning from one another and expanding our understanding of domestic violence and how to best serve women and children affected by violence in their homes. I felt privileged to be with this group.

A volunteer ASL Interpretor is needed during the weekly support group, Tuesday’s 6:00pm to 8:00 pm and to be on call.

Perhaps there is no more important task than effectively communicating the concepts of giving and serving to our children. Anna Marie's Alliance has created a Birthday Club to help parents build habits of philanthropy with their children.
