VISTAs attend annual Take Stock in Children Prayer Breakfast

E.D. "Moody" Johnson, former HandsOn Network VISTA and alum, welcomed guests to the event and also serves as a mentor to a TSIC mentee.

Our friend Norm Lupino and Karen Carpenter enjoy the festivities.

Dave Miner, three school board staff, Pastor Jerry Parrish (back row), Johnson Middle School assistant principal Lori Starkweather, VISTA alum Karen Carpenter, former VISTA Leader and alum Bridgette Halliburton, VISTA Leader Joyce Whitworth, Johnson Middle School Principal Omar Edwards and VISTA alum Virginia Sirocky gathered for a group photo after the event.

When former VISTA members Karen Carpenter and Virginia Sirocky left their VISTA posts, they did not forget their service at the Take Stock in Children program. With "scholarships, mentors and hope", the 4th annual Prayer Breakfast took place on Thursday, February 3rd.

Currently serving on the local school board, Karen is the Honorary Chairman of the TSIC Leadership Council and continues to mentor Britane Hunter, a junior at Southeast High School.

Fellow VISTAs and alums joined their friends at the event.
