ART AND VOLUNTEERING?

Have you ever wondered how the process of making art can help people obtain a greater understanding of themselves?  This is just what will be explored at Westminster-Thurber Community's “Tools for the Servant” annual workshop this week, “Coloring Outside the Lines, a new approach to ministry.”

 We at Betty Brewer’s Angels are taking this wonderful opportunity to have our annual Spring coffee at the workshop to inspire our volunteers to help the residents, of long-term care facilities, who they visit each week.  Thank you Westminster-Thurber!

One of the advantages of being a Betty Brewer’s Angels volunteer is the ongoing training that is provided to help you help others.  This workshop is a good example of that. We are always looking for speakers and workshops to help our volunteers become better at what they do. 

Joel Wrobbel interviewed the speaker for the workshop , Joan Zeller,  a registered Art Therapist, on his radio show “Journey Through Aging” last week.  Just click on this link to listen:

As you may know Betty Brewer’s Angels is a 501©(3) non-profit charity with volunteers in many central Ohio long-term care facilities who are brightening the lives of lonely residents by establishing a one-on-one relationship with them by visiting every week. The bond we establish with our residents is so special.  

 If you have a caring heart and you want to serve others more, we would love to talk to you about becoming a BBA volunteer. We have men and women volunteers. 

Just contact me at www.bettybrewersangels.com or 614-309-4677 for more information and I will lead you through the process step by step.  Volunteering with Betty Brewer’s Angels is easy, fun, and can not only change the life of a lonely person living in a long-term care facility, but your life as well!
