ThriVe About Town

Everybody's talking about ThriVe!

At 6:45 a.m., fueled with slices of E
rin's famous cinnamon bread, Jamie Allman and Crane Durham hosted the second of four planned interviews with ThriVe spokespersons. Their guest this morning was ThriVe's newest board member, Rachel Mansfield, who articulately conveyed her enthusiasm and conviction for our mission. Thank you, Rachel!

On Wednesday, April 30, at 8:30 a.m., Allman and Crane will welcome Gail Robinson, A2A Program Manager and Trisha, former A2A client to discuss our Alternatives to Abortion services.

Across town at Bott Radio Network this afternoon, Harold Hendricks is interviewing Rachel Porter – Run&Walk 4 Life 2008 Co-Chair and her husband, Jason Porter – Pastor of the Fellowship of Weldon Springs. They have recently adopted a one year old little girl and are very supportive of our organization. The interview will cover the Run&Walk 4 Life and ThriVe St. Louis and its programs. Th
e interview will be taped this afternoon and will air in the next several days. Details to follow.

Pick up a current issue of Metrovoice and read all about the upcoming Run&Walk 4 Life 2008 to start from our City location - 4331 Lindell Blvd - on May 10th. Watch for a post-event follow-up in the July issue.
