Eye shared with us her weekend in the Quad Cities and a quiet Sunday relaxing.  
                     
Program -     Erin DeSutter introduced her program about participants in the drug court program in Whiteside county.   Deb Robinson from the probation department shared about the assistance she provides to the participants.   Erin introduced two participants in the program.   Kelly who shared her journey that led her to drug court and now, as a program graduate, she assists others in the program.   Another participant, Jamie, also spoke about her journey.  Kelly is currently in Stage 4 of the 5 stage program.  Both of these brave women provided powerful testimonials of how they have been helped and supported in this program.   It was a moving program and one that we were proud to bear witness to. Thank you Erin.
