Service Organization Focuses on Outreach
POWNAL - Chrysalis Community, an environment for people to learn and practice holistic methods for healing the mind, body and spirit, will now focus its efforts exclusively to outreach and will broaden its focus to all illnesses, not just HIV/AIDS.
Since its inception in 2002, Chrysalis Community has provided services to people with HIV/AIDS both onsite and through outreach programs. Given its desire to provide free or low-cost services and reach a greater number of people, and the increasingly challenging climate of fundraising, the executive board of Chrysalis Community has decided that programming should be exclusively focused on outreach. This shift will permit Chrysalis Community to continue its efforts in holistic education without the time and cost involved in running a facility. Our programs will include lectures and workshops at hospitals, clinics and community centers in the region.
As a result, effective June 1st 2006, Chrysalis Community will terminate its lease on its Pownal, Vermont facility. Speaking on behalf of the board of directors, founder and director Sunshine Wohl said “We have been blessed by the contributions of many wonderful and generous people in the area and through their generosity have helped many people over the years.” She continued, “Our focus on outreach programs will allow us to reach even more people in the community moving forward.”
