More than 370 people gathered at the Sofitel on March 14 to celebrate St. David's Center. The event, which sold out for the first time ever, recognized Legendary Sports Columnist and St. David's Center Grandparent Sid Hartman, as the Honorary Chair. 
 
With the help of 37 volunteers -- including the Singles Volunteers of the Twin Cities who returned for the fourth time -- we exceeded expectations and our fundraising goal.
 
Many thanks to all of our volunteers for making the evening such a great success!

the volunteer connection
A newsletter for dedicated St. David's Center volunteers
Greetings!

Thank you for your interest in volunteering with St. David's Center. This quarterly volunteer e-newsletter will keep you and fellow St. David's Center volunteers up-to-date on current volunteer opportunities and highlight some of the volunteers committed to helping St. David's Center build stronger families and communities.
Upcoming Opportunities 
 
A Brush of Color
Give St. David's Center a fresh coat of paint to go along with our new look. Bring a group this summer to help our maintenance staff liven up our site with our new colors. Your work will be appreciated daily by our clients and staff. This is the perfect opportunity for evening or weekend volunteers.
 
Summer Outings
Twins baseball games, water park outings and more! Take a break from the grind this summer to chaperone a field trip for youth with developmental disabilities through the Adventure Program at St. David's Center.
 
The Adventure Program provides a structured group environment in which students with special needs can develop positive peer relationships, participate in group activities and integrate into the community. Come and make some new friends while making a difference in a teenager's life.  
 
If you're interested in volunteering for one of these opportunities, please contact Layne Trout at 952-548-8627.
Same Commitment, New LookSDC logo 
In March, St. David's Child Development & Family Services officially became St. David's Center for Child and Family Development. With the new name, came a new logo and tagline: Embrace. Enrich. Empower.
 
Although our name and look changed to better align with our mission and strategic growth plan, our commitment to families remains the same: Embrace each individual's uniqueness; Enrich our community through opportunities; and Empower children and families to thrive.
 
Thank you helping us achieve our mission to "build relationships that nurture the development of every child and family," and lending a hand through volunteering.
At St. David's Center, we understand the importance of volunteers and the impact they have on each and every child.
 
We'd especially like to acknowledge your commitment this week, National Volunteer Appreciation Week. With your help, we're better able to serve more than 2,000 children and families in the West metro each year.
 
Thank you for your continued support.
