Morning Pointe of Athens Assisted Living, Tennessee, is organizing its 2nd annual Made for More women’s conference to be held on Saturday, April 12, at the Sweetwater First Baptist Church.
The Event
The event will start with a lunch at noon, followed by an afternoon of worship and inspiration with two presenters. Kristy Stafford, director of nursing at Morning Pointe of Athens, and Terrie E. Long, a social worker in the senior care program at Starr Regional Medical Center, will be the speakers. Crystal Sutton, executive director at Morning Pointe of Athens, is the host.
Women of all ages are invited. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased in advance at Sweetwater First Baptist Church or Morning Pointe of Athens. Event T-shirts will also be available for purchase for $15 beforehand or day-of.
The Cause
Proceeds from the event will go to the Morning Pointe Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to advancing senior care through scholarships, caregiver support programs, and educational initiatives throughout the Southeast. It was founded in 2014 by senior healthcare leaders Greg A. Vital and J. Franklin Farrow. The Foundation supports two partner schools in Athens, Tennessee College of Applied Technology (TCAT) Athens, and Tennessee Wesleyan University, in addition to Cleveland State Community College down the road in Cleveland.
“We tried something new with our women’s conference last year and had a lot of great feedback from women who were blessed and inspired by the event,” said Crystal Sutton. “We are looking forward to seeing the event grow this year, enjoying fellowship and raising some money for a good cause that directly impacts our greater Athens community through the nursing scholarships the Foundation is able to fund.”
Morning Pointe of Athens, located at 1025 Crestway Drive, provides assisted living services with licensed, clinical or care staff available 24 hours a day; a full life enrichment program; nutritious meals; and on-site physical, occupational and speech therapy services.
