Jane Stephenson, Founder & Author
THIS SATURDAY - The United Methodist Women's group gives a luncheon each year as a kick-off for the New Opportunity School @ Lees-McRae College, which has a three week session in July. This year we are pleased to host Jane Stephenson, renowned founder of this school which now has three sites in Appalachia (including the original in Beria, KY and the latest in West VA).
Jane will show a video, give a talk with questions, sign her newest book and also Karen Sabo, local campus Director, will be there. A light luncheon will be served after. The date is Sat. June 8 and the program begins at 10am in the Banner Elk United Methodist Church. We would love it if you could publicize this, as all are welcome to hear about this program which lifts so many women and their families out of poverty through education and intensive, personalized individual assessment, development and internship in our community of Banner Elk.
For more information: JoAnn Hudson, our President, (828)387-2655. United Methodist Church is located at 468 College Drive, adjacent to the Lees-McRae campus and next door to Alumna House.
