Grand Opening at Damascus Road
Over the last year, many from Getwell Road have had the high honor of volunteering their time at Damascus Road Residential Center helping the owner, Sharon Paige, prepare for this upcoming Grand Opening. It has been a long-time dream of Sharon to open this facility to help troubled teens in the Memphis area receive the counseling and support they need to get back on their feet and work hard to become productive members of our society. Sharon is very passionate about this ministry and she is looking forward to her first occupants in 2012. Volunteers from Getwell Road have helped this dream become a reality through their servant hearts and she invites you all to come out, along with many local and state dignitaries, to help celebrate this special occasion. Grand Opening ceremonies will take place at Damascus Road Residential Center, Friday, November 11th, 1:00 PM at 2491 Joy Lane in Memphis.
