Chapman Universitys
Founders Day
Chapman University will hold our 32nd
Annual Founders Day, March 13-14, 2015. The two
day event held on the Orange, CA campus has
many strong options for participants to enjoy:
Eleven members of
FCCF (Luanne Bailey, Leslie
Beck, John and Cyndi Cairns. Phil Forbes,
Bill Martin, Ada Rodman, Laura Schaffel,
Amy Styffe, Pat Vannoy, and Donna
Woodbridge, attended the Homeless 101
workshop held last Saturday sponsored by
Fullerton ACT.
Speakers from Pathway of Hope, Future
in Humanity, VISTA and the Fullerton Police
Department Homeless Liaison Task Force gave
us great information on homelessness in
general and in the Fullerton area.
Michael Shepherd began his session
with the question What is Homelessness?
Answer: No home. If you do not have a
home, you have no bed, no shower, no food.
You are in constant crisis to find basic survival
needs which then affects and causes lots of
other issues. He challenged all of us to think
about our circumstances and how close are we
to being in that situation. Unless you have a
good savings to tide you over, if you lost your
job, you could be homeless very soon. I was
very impressed and it sure made me think as I
am sure it did for others. This is only a small
sampling of what we learned.
On March 7, there will be another
Homeless Training Seminar where we can all
learn some of the solutions for Fullerton and
the agencies that are making them happen.
As we are a downtown church and very
close to the homeless situation, I encourage
you to put this date on your calendar now and
plan to attend. The location will be
announced later.
