Rebels With A Cause
It is with great pleasure that the Elizabeth Fry Society of Saint John N.B. Inc. would like to announce its second annual “Rebels With A Cause” dinner and silent auction on May 6th, at Lily Lake Pavilion, 6:00 p.m.
We hope that this evening will enable us to acknowledge the needs and wants of the community and the women we serve. Each woman being honored at this dinner has been instrumental in voicing her thoughts, ideas and opinions on what is necessary for our community. It is for their tireless effort, dedication, and compassion that they are being recognized. The women being honored are: Phyllis Beckingham (Romero House), Elizabeth Weir (Efficiency NB), Sister Arleen Brawley & Sister Mary Beth McCurdy (Sophia Recovery Centre). Entertainment will be provided by Dr. Kevin Langford and Deantha Edmunds. The Mistress of Ceremonies is Martha Zed.
Our theme for the evening is the lost children of mothers in prison and how we, The Elizabeth Fry Society of Saint John NB Inc., try to bridge the gap in their lives. During the evening, you can view a PowerPoint Presentation of Programs & Services we offer to keep these families connected.
All the funds raised will go to continue our work with women and their children; particularly the Mother/Child Read Aloud Program which is a very popular program because contact visits between mother and child are no longer permitted in jails, Anti-Shoplifting: The Crime of the Century which is delivered to students in Districts #6 and #8, and Cross Roads to Success, which is a multi-week Program for female teens who are in conflict with the law. Everything we do, and the services we provide for the women, their children, families and female youth are facilitated by volunteers.
Purchase tickets and come support The Elizabeth Fry Society of Saint John NB Inc. and it’s clients! Tickets are now on sale!
Tickets: $65/ticket (tax receipt of $35) or a table of 8 for $500.

We look forward to seeing you at this event! See you on May 6th, 2010.

Around the Office
Things have been busy at E. Fry SJ!
Erin & Robyn are currently facilitating Cross Roads to Success, and is in her third week of the Program. All referrals have come from Youth Probation Services. The Program is going really well! As a new component, E. Fry is now able to provide the opportunity for all successful participants to apply for a scholarship toward their educational advancements!
The Human Rights in Action Training was greatly successful! Kim & Candice came from CAEFS to facilitate the full-day training session. It was educational and informative, and we have received really great feedback from those who attended.
With summer right around the corner, E. Fry is gearing up for summer students. Our application has been sent in for SEED, and we eagerly anticipate new student workers this year.
Fundraising is still going on. We're consistently sending out proposals for funding in hopes to be able to keep programs running and Erin in the office.
