organization of and for women personally acquainted with

getting out of the military, and has since fought the
economic injustices faced by so many people in our country.

and I want to be a part of it." |

Dr. Nancy Kern,
is a family nurse practitioner with the Family Health Center
of Clark County, IN, which serves uninsured folks. A member
of St. Michael's Catholic Church in Bradford, IN, she uses
words like "fair" and "respect" in describing a just world.
She lives with Paul, her husband, Captain the Cat, a slew of
livestock including Felix, who has been known to frequent
the Kentucky state fair. Her down-time involves the 3 "R"s:
Red Cross, Rug-hooking, Rodeos. She is fairly demanding, and
will no doubt bring a renewed urgency to our work.

Rev. Jim
Trimble is rector of St. James Episcopal Church in Pewee
Valley, KY, near Louisville. A former public radio reporter,
Jim does what he can to further the cause of justice, and
brings a certain grooviness to our board meetings. He also
asks good questions, and shows up when you need him -- vital
qualities for trustees! |

John Werst
is our longest-serving board member. CEO of Plumbers Supply
Co in Louisville, he is a wonderful "go to" guy for building
issues. And we have a few building issues! John is a fairly
quiet guy, but his love of justice speaks boldly of the kind
of person he is. We're pleased to have him as a great
supporter of this work. |

"... As
the week went on, I really began to get the full
experience. Now, I am really glad we chose UrbanSpirit
as our mission trip. This was really a life-changing
experience."
