Hello Pro-life Heroes,
Thank you for your participation in our January events including the Rose Mass on January 22, Buddy’s Restaurant Fundraiser on January 23, and Luminaries for Life on January 24.
Our only February event is Bowling for Life on Saturday, February 15. The annual LIFESPAN Baby Shower is also quickly approaching the weekend of March 8-9 at most of the participating churches. Fliers for both events are included in these notes.
Remember to Save the Date of Tuesday, May 6 for the annual Celebrate Life Dinner and Silent Auction. Our exciting speaker is Rachel Campos-Duffy, a prominent Fox News host and mother with a poweful life-affirming message. Our President Diane Fagelman will soon send out a letter seeking large donors to sponsor this vital fundraiser. Large donors will be invited to attend a special meet-and-greet with Rachel. Registration has not yet started for the dinner, but we are already at work on the 2025 LIFESPAN Resource Book to be distributed at the dinner. We are already accepting business, church, and organizational sponsor ads and patron ads. Consider advertising to a very loyal pro-life audience that is always looking to support its own!
There are two upcoming Wayne Chapter initiatives to highlight as well. We are hard at work planning an Open House at our office this Spring. Our landlord installed new laminate flooring to replace the tired old carpeting and we have completed an extended period of house-cleaning, so we want to show off our new and improved look. More importantly, we want to give you, the Church Reps, an opportunity to see the pro-life resources we have available for you. There have been two Church Rep meetings in the past two years, but we think an Open House format will allow more of you to participate and personally connect with our staff and Board.
Like most locales and organizations in Michigan, Wayne County is greying and so is our membership. In the long-run, Wayne Chapter and LIFESPAN as a whole must replenish and grow our membership. We are looking for member churches willing to host LIFESPAN membership drives in 2025. Ideally, the Chapter Director or a Board member would make a brief introduction during church announcements and invite members of the congregation to stop by and see LIFESPAN representatives with more information in the vestibule or parish center at the conclusion of the service or liturgy. More details to come on these two exciting initiatives soon!
GO LIONS!
Yours for LIFE,
Timothy Pruse
Wayne County Chapter Director
