Third annual Social Service Luncheon promotes community involvement


The third annual Social Service Luncheon, held Oct. 31 in the MidCity Executive Building in the Roselawn community, was an opportunity for service providers in the area to be recognized for their contributions, while simultaneously networking with others in the field.

The event is hosted yearly by the school.

Invitations are extended to various social service agencies in the area, including those who have provided services to the school throughout the year, as well as some who may be unfamiliar with the Life Skills program.

This year’s event was organized by Sandra Reese, family advocate for the school.

Representatives of 23 different community agencies in attendance.

Participants were presented with an overview of the school's program presented by students, taken on a tour of the school and was then treated to a buffet-style lunch.

Agency representatives not only had the opportunity to familiarize themselves with a prominent local educational institution, but they also were able to network.
