The Safe Haven Committee members worked hard to plan and provide meaningful activities for the women each month. Most importantly, committee members were commied to interacting with the women in order to develop meaningful relationships. In our planning meeting, we discussed the need to focus on engaging with the Safe Haven women as opposed to socializing with our League friends. We made it a goal to truly reach out to the women by expressing genuine interest in them and by being sensitive to conversation topics. The commiee members maintained this focus throughout the year, and we were successful in building relationships and making each activity about the Safe Haven ladies.
Committee members also helped out with Dancing with the Statesboro Stars, which is an annual community event that raises money to support Safe Haven. League members served as ushers for the event, which is Safe Haven’s biggest fundraiser. In addition, we were able to finalize the transfer ownership of the Joseph’s Home van (owned by SSL) to Safe Haven.
