Presenter: Corey Miller

                                                                         

The Rev. Dr. Corey Miller will speak to us about Crisis Control Ministry (CCM) of which he has been Director of Philanthropy since 2010.

            Crisis Control Ministry was founded in 1973 by religious congregations in Winston-Salem to offer coordinated financial assistance to people in need. CCM aims to treat anyone in a financial crisis with respect and compassion, and to offer them targeted short-term emergency assistance. CCM is the largest emergency assistance provider in Forsyth County, serving over 23,000 people in FY 2013.

            Corey met CCM’s Executive Director, Margaret Elliott, in 2002, and got to know CCM through a strong church partnership. This ministry resonated deeply with him, and he was excited to join the staff. His role is to coordinate the growth of donor relationships.

            Corey is a native of Winston-Salem and graduated from R.J. Reynolds High School. He is an ordained United Methodist minister, and currently serves in an ecumenical role at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church. Previously, he served in two local United Methodist congregations in Forsyth County. Before coming to Crisis Control, he was the Executive Director of Smart Start of Davie County. He has been married for over twenty years to his wife Beth and has a teenage son named Caldwell.

GENERAL MEETING: Tuesday, October 28, 2014

General Meetings are a time to welcome visitors, hear guest speakers and discuss club business. We invite women who are new or established residents of Greater Winston-Salem to visit us.

Presenter: Beryl P. Mankins, Executive Director

Beryl Mankins is Founder and Executive Director of Jonathan’s Legacy: Connections of Hope, a nonprofit she founded in honor of her son Jonathan who tragically died in1994. Overcome by her grief, Beryl eventually began collecting and distributing books in memory of her son, and transformed that grief and despair into something positive and healing to inspire and positively motivate others. In this way Beryl honors his generous spirit in combination with her love for books that have the power to educate those who struggle with their feelings of despair as she has with hers.

            The two literacy initiatives (adult and youth) both collect new and gently read high quality educational books to give others encouraging independent learning. Jonathan’s Legacy Steam (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) Book Club is their latest initiative. 

            Beryl is a 1973 graduate of Howard University in Washington, D.C. She received the Wade M. Gallant, Jr., 2010 Volunteer of the Year Award as an individual who exemplifies the true spirit of volunteerism for the mental health movement using her time, talents and energies for persons with mental illness.

            Jonathan’s Legacy: Connections of Hope does not discriminate on the basis of religion, national origin, race, color, sex, or sexual preference.
