Dear Friend of Sav-A-Life,

Teresa Butler, who served as our Executive Director for many years, left the Sav-A-Life ministry Feb. 1.  The Board of Directors deeply appreciates the excellent administrative skills Teresa applied in the daily operations of this ministry.

We are very excited to say that Carrie (Gore) Eckhardt accepted our invitation to come on board full time as the new Executive Director.  Carrie has served as a Sav-A-Life volunteer, and more recently served as our Field Director. She organized our first banquet in November, which was a great success, and in other ways is full of ideas and energy. The board will be challenged to keep up with her.

We also congratulate her on her recent marriage to Conrad Eckhardt. Conrad had his first encounter with the ministry in a recent reorganize day at our office.

We thank you for your continued support, and greatly appreciate your prayers during this time of transition.

In His service,

Ed Lopacki – Chairman

P.S. We have a pressing need for receptionists and volunteers as we seek to restore the ministry to a full weekday and Saturday schedule.  Please consider this need prayerfully, especially if you formerly served, and contact our office if you want to help at 205-758-7258 or call Carrie’s cell 205-399-7330.
