THE RETREAT – Everyday Enrichment for Older Adults

Posted on by

SENIOR PROM – SEPT. 13th – MCRAR Consumer Outreach Committee

The Retreat offers an exceptional member-only adult day health and day care program for seniors. Their mission is to allow seniors to age in place in their own homes, provide respite for care partners, reduce the costs associated with care to remain at home, avert unplanned hospital stays and delay, defer or eliminate the need for institutional care.

Kathryn Doddridge, the Director of the Retreat, is our main guest and is joined by Brittany Paschal, Kristin Mueller & Melissa Holt, as members of the Mid Carolina Regional Association of Realtors.

The partnership between The Retreat and the Consumer Outreach Committee is a special one and the event coming up on Sept. 13th at The Retreat from 4:30 – 7:30 is being facilitated by this committee as a way to introduce people to this fine facility.

The Mid Carolina Regional Association of Realtors is one of Moore County’s largest trade organizations and their role in the community is also discussed with Chief Executive Officer, Deborah Key and MLS coordinator, Mandy Dennis. Their conversation in our 3rd and final set offers the public a lot of great information.

THE FOUR PILLARS OF A FATHER CAPODANNO HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION – MICHAEL ERWIN

Posted on by

Author and Chairman of the Board of the Father Capodanno High School, Michael Erwin, is our guest.

Mike is one of the most passionate and charismatic speakers we’ve ever had on our show.

His passion for students and for the Catholic Church becomes instantly self-evident.

Mike talks about his own upbringing; his education; his process of evolving and his transformative message for today’s students, between the ages of 14-18, is something every parent should hear.

Father Capodanno High School is having an Open House on Monday, Aug. 6th -5:30 p.m. – at their Vass location. (Hwy 1) prior to the kick off of their 2nd year of existence.

Mike directly addresses what a life of service and helping others can do for each individual and why an education with those building blocks is essential to each student specifically, and to our world at large. It’s not just his words that resonate, but his actions and what he is doing in his everyday life.
