For many, many years we have met over at the wonderful St. Joseph’s Mother Baby Assessment Center in Orange. On Thursday, March 21st (363 S Main St

Many of you already know that a bulk of the work at the OCBFC is done “behind the scenes” by a handful of very dedicated volunteers. We want to take a moment to introduce you to one of these fabulous volunteers. Meet attorney Alan Goldman. We met him through our networks on “LinkedIn”, in the Non-Profit Organization Group. He specializes in working with non-profit organizations and reached out and offered up his expertise in helping us bring our by-laws up to what our organization is doing today. He is located in Ohio. But works remotely very well. Many thanks to Alan for helping us out. We really appreciate it. We have a link to his firm on the Resources tab. 
Tomorrow 3/9/12, our own Christine Betzold will be honored as a “Woman Making a Difference in Orange County” by State Senator Lou Correa, tommorrow at the Westminster Community Center. The award recognizes women veterans and women in the public service sector who have dedicated their lives to improving our communities daily, and keeping our nation and community safe. Congratulations Christine. You make us all so proud!
