Meetings
Guild members open their homes to members and friends on a bi-monthly basis. Equal parts of "social" and "serious business," the gatherings have been a remarkable way for members to learn more about the daily work of The Adoption Exchange, as well as one another's personal motivations for serving on the Guild.
If you are interested in:
♥ Staying connected with the mission and work of The Adoption Exchange
♥ Better understanding your role as a Guild Member
♥ Getting to know other Members on a more personal level
♥ Introducing a friend or neighbor to the Guild
... then these meetings are for you!!!
Meeting Schedule
(All meetings begin at 10:00 a.m. unless otherwise indicated)
Please join us in 2009
(Dates TBD)

Holiday Hope All Year

The Adoption Exchange's leadership has just assigned an exclusive new initiative to the Guild - to support our Wendy's Wonderful Kids Colorado caseload (currently 12 children) with cards and goody-bags on special occasions, and to increase creative recruitment efforts on their behalf. Not only is it a tremendous privilege to sponsor these kids, but a personally rewarding way to play a vital role in the mission of The Adoption Exchange. |
Get to know a select group of waiting children through pictures and updates in Guild meetings and newsletters. Touch their lives directly by letting them know someone cares as The Adoption Exchange works to find their "forever families."
Imagine being the one to find that perfect match as you share their stories with your families, neighbors, book clubs and faith-based organizations. This is how adoptive families are found, and this is what the Guild was founded to do!
Learn more about this exciting project and how you can help change a child's life "forever" at the Spring Membership Event on April 28th.
