We held our first Success Skills Workshop
this past Saturday at the
Salvation Army. The Success
Coaches were Tim Brown and Patricia Bintliff. We worked on
skills identification and skill transfer. We have 14 clients in
our group and you will find more information on all of these men
below.
 
Our most elderly
client is 58 and our youngest client is 23. Their professions
range from law to car customization. We have an artist, a
plumber, and a hotel bellman among many others. They are a very
diverse group which will poses some challenges for our success
coaches. Most are in Phase II of their
Work Therapy program meaning that they are ready to
begin their job search, some within a few days.

The Success Day at
Working Wardrobes
will be held on April 19th. Please mark your calendars for that
day. We will need volunteers to act as "personal shoppers" for
our clients as they choose their "working" wardrobes. The
personal shoppers will help fit the men and help match their
accessories.
Click here for some photos of last year's Success Day. The
event will take place from 9:00 am to approximately 12:00 noon.
We would like every member of our club to at come by, even if
only for a few minutes, to meet our clients. Chris Szechenyi has
asked his hairdresser if she would volunteer her time and she
has graciously agreed. If any of you know a masseuse who might
be interested in donating his/her services, please let one of us
know.
Graduation will
follow the last workshop on May 3rd. All club members will be
invited and urged to attend as this is the culmination of our
efforts with this group of men. Again, please mark you calendar
now. When the graduates see a large gathering from our
club at the culminating event, they are sent a strong message
that we care about their future and what happens to them after
our workshops.
