New Vision Christian Workshop (NVCW) "Moving on Up" event
On Saturday, February 4th, 2011 the New Vision Christian Workshop (NVCW) sponsored a "Moving on Up" event for former residents of the BCS Transitional Living Community. The NVCW was introduced to BCS by Dr. Mildred Clarke, a member of the BCS Board of Directors. Dr. Clarke had a vision to reach out to the women who have moved on from TLC and let them know that even though are no longer with the program that they are still a part of the BCS family.
The day was filled with words of inspiration, motivating performances, an art display, group movement (dance), a factual question and answer session regarding black history and a nutritious lunch.
The NVCW provided the ladies with a fun filled day. At the end of the program NVCW presented each lady with a $25.00 Target Gift Certificate to purchase a small housewarming gift for their new living space. At the end of the day, all left with a light heart, a mind filled with great information, anf a gift.
The NVCW was pleased with the turn out expressed interested in presenting another program of this type again.
