Weekly Programs
 
DUE TO THE HOLIDAYS, THERE WILL NOT BE CLUB MEETINGS ON EITHER DECEMBER 24 OR 31.
On December 3, we will hear from Hannah Parish of Solid Ground where she is the Volunteer Program Manager. Solid Ground is an organization that helps families break the cycle of homelessness and poverty for the next generation. Solid Ground now runs six programs in suburban Ramsey and Washington Counties housing nearly 400 women, men and children annually.
Hannah has over 9 years of experience in program management and nonprofit organizations. She holds her Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from the University of St. Thomas.
Hannah also runs the Santa Shop for Solid Ground—a holiday store stocked with donated gifts and toys where parents can experience the pride of picking out the perfect present for their child.  She will tell us about the great work Solid Ground is doing, an upcoming event, and ways people can support this work.
Our speaker on December 10 is Jill Seward. She is the National Executive Director Nursing, Chief Nursing Officer at Hazelden Betty Ford. Jill joined Hazelden Betty Ford in September 2015, previously serving as director of Nursing and Client Management at The Emily Program. Before The Emily Program, Jill held several nursing and clinical leadership roles at St. John's Hospital in Minnesota.

Jill received her bachelor's degree in nursing from the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay and received her master's degree in Nursing: Leadership and Administration from Capella University.

Jill will introduce you to her work at Hazelden Betty Ford and describe the tremendous good they are doing across the nation by helping individuals defeat their personal addiction.
December 17 brings us Dana Healy from CTV North Suburbs. CTV North Suburbs is hyper focused on their served community—a different approach from a mainstream production house. Partnering with local businesses, grants, and agencies, they identify and bring media attention to important community issues, events and activities. Media project examples range from documentaries about World War II veterans, to updates about recycling programs in the city.
