The first meeting of 2010 was held on January forth. The speaker was Bili LaCompt, director of Faith House. Faith House is a non-profit organization that provides emergency shelter for battered women and children. Though housed in Lafayette Parish, it also serves the needs of the surrounding area. Ms LaCompt gave descriptions of services provided, how Faith House was funded, and how volunteers to work with clients were welcomed. She also said that articles of clothing and other items that could be used in the shelter would be appreciated.
Al Pfeuffer offered a folding, roll away bed, that Ms LaCompt said would be excellent for the facility. Other members inquired about volunteering.
On a sad note, Mike Sullivan, former Pinhook Rotary president(1990-91)passed away and his memorial service was to be had this day.
