Bev & Meredith attended the first annual Character Council Visions Dinner on Monday night, a fundraiser for the Character Council of Indiana. Nearly 300 others were in attendance including the Mayor, Greg Ballard; the M.C, Richard Mourdock, Treasurer, State of Indiana; and the Keynote speaker, Barry Collier, Athletic Director, Butler University.
What a great event! There was a silent auction, testimonials of people who have been helped with the council, great food, great atmosphere and good conversation. Richard Mourdock was funny and energetic, and kept us engaged all night. Mayor Ballard spoke briefly on the good that is happening in Indiana and Barry Collier was funny and on topic with his message about the emphasis on character that is part of the Butler Way. We were really glad to be a part of such a wonderful event for an organization that is truly making a difference one person at a time.
Check out the Character Council’s Website for more information on them at: www.charactercouncil.org . Look for information on their free breakfast under the Events tab and join in on learning about the month’s character quality.
