On Monday, February 10th at 6:30 PM, we will hold an in person club meeting. Our speaker will be Michael Rayos.
Michael Rayos will be sharing information about how The Dream Come True Foundation’s model of wrap-around services has been proven to help individuals achieve their goals, move out of poverty, and positively impact their surrounding community. They believe the most underserved people in poverty are the people who want out. That’s where that’s where they come in. DCTF creates the path out. They provide the means and the opportunity for a Dream Achiever (“Achiever”) to gain the education and skills required to obtain a high-demand, family-sustaining income-level job. Their impact is profound and significant. They break the cycles of intergenerational poverty with determined individuals “on the cusp of success” and their families and provide foundational pathways through adult education, one-on-one mentoring, essential financial assistance, and access to community partnerships.
Our meeting will be held at Shoal Creek Saloon, located at 909 N. Lamar Blvd. This will be a very interesting program, we encourage you to invite family, friends, and colleagues to join us.
