Dear Women of Compassion,
I’m sure you join us in celebrating the success of our 4th annual Central Florida Women of Compassion (WOC) event held Friday, February 24 on our Lakeland house mothers during our luncheon! We also received great reviews on the program, especially the worship time. One attendee said, “My favorite part was being in a room with all these ladies who have the same heart!”

Just to recap:
- Voting Results: We overwhelmingly voted to underwrite the cost of remodeling the children’s bathrooms in one cottage, which happens to be on the Lakeland tours at next year’s event! Thank you!
- Attendance: We were thrilled to welcome 30 prospective members to our event this year. Several of you joined and vote for one of the remaining 4 projects (by attending or by absentee ballot) at the WOC Fall event in Tallahassee! The North Florida Women of Compassion 2012 event will be held Friday, August 24, 2012 from 10:00 am – 2:00 pm. For more information regarding this upcoming event, contact Sorrell.Fields@FBCHomes.org.
- New Council Members: We are pleased to welcome three new council members who will be instrumental in helping plan and Ashley Woodard of Oviedo.
- Next Year’s WOC Forum: Our next Central Florida Women of Compassion event will be held on Friday, February 15, 2013, with special guest speaker, Lisa Harper!
