"Islanders Helping Islanders: Three Local Women Share Their Stories of Volunteering in Haiti"

Gail Alofsin, Colleen Hopkins, and Kate Whitney Lucey, all of Aquidneck Island, will speak on their experiences of volunteering in Haiti through the Haitian Health Foundation (founded by Alofsin's father in 1985) both before and after the devastating earthquake of 2010 hit the island nation.

"The women hope to engage their neighbors in supporting the cause and to remind people of the struggles the Haitians still face, nearly two years after the earhtquake that shed such public light on the nation's plight."

This is the first presentation in the center's new Community Forum program.
