Lunch not possible without community support
Public Forum:
Ben Merens, host of "At Issue" on Wisconsin Public Radio, spoke about the art of listening to 180 guests at COPE's take-a-break luncheon, "COPE … From the Heart," on Feb. 10. He said "people are dying to be heard" and "listening is a gift we should give ourselves and others as often as we can."
The annual event also included a unique raffle and delicious lunch. A huge thank you is extended to our speaker, patrons and everyone who attended and supported this fundraiser for the Ozaukee County COPE hotline.
