Fay, a one-year-old pup in Canine Companion training, came with speaker Peter
Rothermel to the February meeting of the Temecula Valley Woman's Club. Rothermel
explained to the group that Canine Companions for Independence provides
highly-trained assistance dogs throughout the U.S. for children and adults with
disabilities, free of charge. A quote from his
non-profit website states: "The most advanced technology capable of transforming
the lives of people with disabilities has a cold nose and a warm heart!"
Speakers, like this one, are often scheduled to give talks at
TVWC monthly
meetings. Please check the calendar on our web site for meeting date and time.
The public is welcome to attend the meetings for only $4, or stay and join the
Club for lunch in the Temeku Hills ballroom for $16.
TVWC Announces 2010 Board of
Directors
The Temecula Valley Woman’s Club has elected a new Executive Board
for 2010. TVWC President, Pat Farmer, took office on January 1. Pat has been
with the Club since 2001 and has held numerous Board positions over the years.
During her first month as President, she ushered in the TVWC’s Special Project
for 2010, the Back on Track program.
“This program will be a joint effort with Michelle’s Place, a Women's Breast
Cancer Resource Center in Murrieta,” Pat explained. “Michelle’s Place plans to
expand assistance and help cancer survivors rebuild their lives to regain their
place in the community through mentoring programs, seminars, wardrobe assistance
and more. With the support of the TVWC, the program will be enlarged to include
funding for one-time costs associated with job training programs and other
immediate needs, such as clothes for the workplace.”
