Did You Graduate This Year?
Please
contact
Charlotte Lillquist
(441-3400, ex.10) if you are graduating from high school, college, or other
degree program. We would like to acknowledge your accomplishment.
That’s the theme of to
2010 Summer Institute sponsored by the School of Social Work at Loyola
University Chicago through its Family and School Partnership Program.
This decade has been difficult for schools in every way. New mandates have
heightened academic pressures on students and teachers. Families have
experienced mounting economic concerns. Acts of violence and aggression have
increased. In both urban and suburban schools, as well as their surrounding
communities, these problems have created an atmosphere of anxiety for children,
parents, and school professionals.
The 3-day 2010 Summer Institute (Wednesday, July 21 through Friday, July
23) will address these issues and empower you with new and creative ways to
help your students, families, and schools cope with and grow from these
challenging times.
Key note speakers are Patricia Arredondo, EdD and Margaret Weherenberg, PsyD,
along with the following presenters: Georgia Boseday, EdD; Kerri Grossman, LCSW;
Naomi Milstein, MSW, Elizabeth Perl, PhD; Verity Levitt Rodrigues, PhD; and
Lindsay Schrand, School Psychologist.
Who should attend? Teachers, school administrators, school social
workers, psychologists, and counselors. All are welcome.
Where? Loyola’s Water Tower Campus, 820 N. Michigan Avenue, Chicago.
For more information go to
The Summer Institute

or contact Rev.
William Mueller
at 847-441-3400 x.23 for brochures.

Family Promise Chicago North Shore seeks a (volunteer) Volunteer Coordinator
Family
Promise Chicago North Shore (FPCNS) needs someone to make sure that all of our
volunteer slots (about 15-40 hours per week) are filled on an on-going basis.
This includes speaking to and/or e-mailing our volunteers, and filling out the
monthly schedules. It does not require volunteer recruitment or volunteer
management.
Perhaps
you’ve already been volunteering for FPCNS and, knowing how rewarding it is, you
want to get more involved with the organization.
Perhaps
you’ve wished to volunteer, but the hours haven’t been right.
If you
enjoy organizing, enjoy talking with people, and have basic computer skills,
this could be the perfect volunteer opportunity for you!
For more
information on FPCNS, visit
www.fpcnorthshore.org

Community Renewal Society
I was
sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.
--Matthew
25:36
WCC has
enjoyed a long relationship with Community Renewal Society (CRS) over the years.
WCC, as endorsed by our Council, provided in kind services to CRS this year by
providing weekly supervisory hours to its two dual degree students. Most Tuesday
mornings since last fall, our associate pastor, William Mueller who holds a
license in clinical social work (LCSW), met in his church office with Mary
Lynch-Dungy and Kristin Holm. These two first-year students are both enrolled in
the master degree programs at the University of Chicago School of Social Service
Administration and the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago.
Because of WCC’s timely service to CRS and its interns, they were involved in
recent successes on behalf of their constituents.
Kristin served in CRS’s integral role in ground-breaking nursing home
reform. The data analysis and reporting of The Chicago Reporter was utilized to
highlight racial inequities in nursing home care and the subsequent activism of
the Civic Action network in helping to draft SB685. If passed, the unprecedented
legislation will provide adequate levels of nursing home care for all Illinois
seniors, regardless of race, economic status, or geographic location.
Mary served in CRS’s significant win on behalf of children with
incarcerated parents, a priority collaboration of CRS’s programmatic units.
Through the continued reporting and data analysis of Catalyst Chicago and The
Chicago Reporter and the tireless activism of CRS’s Civic Action network, the
Illinois Department of Corrections has committed to CRS’s demands for improved
visitation, transportation and re-entry policies affecting children with
incarcerated parents.
In the coming academic year, William Mueller plans to provide similar
supervisory time to Jennifer Hibben, another dual degree student at
Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary and Loyola University Chicago: School
of Social Work. Jennifer will be working with The Night Ministry, another
longtime WCC related-agency through our Woman’s Society Benevolence team.
