An Inner Journey to an Outward Path
I greet you with words of peace and gratefulness.
I am grateful for the wonderful, wonderful year
Light of Truth Center (LTC) has had. I am filled
with gratitude. LTC has realized it dreams and is
now soaring on the wings of the Divine.
Eighteen years ago, LTCs’ Mastermind group envisioned an organization
filled with love; a place that is conducive to recovery, while promoting
transformation and restoration. LTC’s hopes and dreams are captured in
their vision statement. We are now in uncharted territory. In 2017 LTC
completed an application with the Commission on Accreditation of
Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) and is currently awaiting an accreditation
survey. In addition, LTC hired Michelle Ludlow as clinical director, who has
taken the Center to another level of excellence.
LTC’s board member Alicia Daye planned an outing for the women in the
Center with an open invitation to the community. The outing was LTC’s
first trip to New York visiting the famous Ellis Island, Statue of Liberty, 911
Infinity Pools, and the ultimate shopping experience on Canal Street. What
an experience for all who attended. LTC is certainly looking forward to next
year. We hope you will join us.
Board member Jessie Watrous is to be commended for her dedication and
commitment to securing sponsorships for LTC. For the second year in a
row Jessie has brought in the single largest donation towards LTC’s annual
fundraiser. Thank you Jessie for your willingness to serve.
The women that serve within the Center are growing and expanding in
phenomenal ways. LTC Peer Housing Specialist, Antoinette Davis, passed
the Certified Peer Specialist test, thereby, becoming a Certified Peer
Specialist. Betty Copeland, another Peer Housing Specialist, recently
graduated from a program of recovery. Angie McCray, LTC Senior Peer
Housing Specialist, is planning LTC’s 2017-2018 Open House (Oct. 28th)
with the support of LTC women. Last, but not least, Karene McLaurin, Peer
Housing Specialist, has served LTC in a spirit of excellence. LTC also
welcomed new staff members Angela Tanner and Joann Lee, as well as
Volunteer Jennifer Klotz who facilitates training for LTC staff and leads LTC
family group on Thursdays'.
