COMMUNITY

This month COMMUNITY looks at the two religious support groups which are located in Cleveland, DIGNITY and INTEGRITY. Both groups are open to individuals of all faiths but DIGNITY is Catholic based and INTEGRITY is Episcopalian based. The groups work to provide religious and social support to their membership with meetings and other scheduled functions. DIGNITY meetings are held the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month at the Hallinan Center of CWRU. INTEGRITY meets the 1st and 3rd Thursday of each month at Trinity Cathedral. On months with a 5th Thursday, both groups meet jointly for a social event. DIGNITY also sponsors a potluck on the third Saturday of each month.

For further information on either group regarding memberships and activities please call the contact numbers listed in FIND IT FAST below.

GEAR is FOR YOU, and GEAR NEEDS YOU! While the new Center is a reality, your talents are needed to put the finishing touches on it. Call the HOTLINE and leave a message with what you'd like to help with.

LIGHT would like to invite any women interested in working with them to their next meeting.
