Mark Your Calendars!
Mark your calendars for the 2011 Crisis Nursery Dinner & Auction - June 17, 2011. For one year and one year only, we are moving our event from the first Friday in June, to the third Friday of June. This 18th annual event will again be held at the I Hotel & Conference Center in Champaign. Hope you'll join us!
Office Makeover Update
Plans are coming together for the office makeover contest we won back in May, "Office Needs for Good Deeds." Our spaces will take on a whole new look very soon and we'll be sure to keep you posted on the progress.
Check out this story for more details. Thanks to Gunlocke, the generous sponsor of this contest!
Crisis Nursery is Seeking Summer Volunteers!
Do you have some extra time on your hands this summer? As the University students leave for the summer, our volunteers drop by about two thirds. This leaves us in desperate need of volunteers, so we’re asking our community to pick up the pieces and fill in the gaps. If you have 2 hours each week to care for a child in crisis, please call Meghan Rewers at 217-337-2731 or email volunteer@crisisnursery.net.
