BBC Friday 1 February 2019 – Guest Presentation, Maria Metzler, Executive Director, Helpline House

Join us this deep winter BBC Friday for special guest, Maria Metzler, Helpline House executive director. Maria will share about Helpline House’s vision for the future, as well as how local individuals, entrepreneurs, and businesses can support Helpline House for a better Island future. There will be plenty of time for questions and discussion.

Starting a year ago, January 2nd, as director of Helpline House (helplinehouse.org), “Maria Metzler has made a living out of helping people. So, it’s only natural that the latest chapter in her 17-year Social Services career is as Executive Director of Helpline House. Metzler … has always been driven by social justice, improving the lives of others, and connecting with people and community. She and her husband – who met while working in a homeless shelter – moved to Bainbridge Island four years ago and have 5-year-old twins” (Karen West, Helpline House Special Assignment Volunteer Writer, 2 Mar. 2018). Maria on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/maria-metzler-593a1a155/

So Invite your friends and associates to come join us for this exciting non-virtual non-cloud event in real time and real space … and another delicious cup of BBC!
