PRESENTATION: Diana Dalsin – Bridging
Wayne Ward introduced Bridging’s Director of Strategic Partnerships, Diana Dalsin. Many of us have fond memories of her previous visits accompanying Bridging Founder Fran Heitzman as we were treated to his boundless energy and encouragement for us to keep performing “Good things."
Diana provided a summary of the help Bridging has been providing Twin Cities communities since 1987. It is amazing to think about the amount of coordination and partnerships that are responsible for the 5,000+ clients served, and 15 semi-trailer loads of housing supplies and furniture moved each week. Bridging depends on volunteer hours and donations of cash and materials, and partnerships with 260 local agencies.
Former Rotarian Steve Mueller was responsible for organizing our club’s efforts, including the 2019 collection drive pictured in the photos below.
