TMC Hosts EPOCH's 50th Anniversary Event

On September 18, 2022 EPOCH (Educational Programs of Children Handicapped) celebrated its 50th anniversary at the Thursday Morning Club’s Madison Community House, where EPOCH meets for afterschool activities for children with special needs.

Cathy Kerris, representing the Epoch Board, spoke about the history of EPOCH and thanked the many volunteers who have contributed their talents and efforts in support of EPOCH over the last half century. She presented a $1000 donation to Betty Landi, TMC President, thanking the Thursday Morning Club for use of the Madison Community House, noting that the EPCOH children love spending their after school hours at the ‘House’. Major Bob Conley presented a Proclamation honoring the excellent work of EPOCH, highlighting the significant contributions made to children’s lives, enabling them to gain confidence and to make life-long friends.

The TMC offers programs and services to support the community, and its Madison Community House provides a home for a five-day Preschool and Before and after Child Care Program as well as a number of sports, recreation, and civic groups.
