We Have all Heard it Before, Life Can Change in the Blink of an Eye


Anne Kirkpatrick, DCC Faculty Secretary, has a 15-year-old son Matthew who was recently diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome.  His kidneys are not filtering waste and extra fluid from his blood.

Without saying anything more, a few friends thought it would be nice to help her with low-sodium meals, and donations to alleviate the added expense of co-payments, parking, and gasoline costs.

if you are interested in signing up to bring a meal for Anne’s family, a calendar will be posted in the DCC Faculty mailroom (4216), and also in the TCC room (5091)

In the spirit of thanks and gratitude for our families, and our health, photographer Maryann Dannert is donating and raffling off a photo session that includes: (1) 8 x 10, (2) 5 x 7’s, and (1) sheet of wallet sized photos.  Tickets are $2.00 each or two chances for $3.00.  Proceeds will go to the Kirkpatrick family.  For more information, please contact Maryann Dannert at 262-1481 or <"mailto:mdannert@monroecc.edu">

If anyone would like to contribute to help the family with expenses, please forward your donation by December 10th to Debbie Alimentato, 262-1643 (Human Services), Maryann Dannert, 262-1481 (Gateway to College), Tammy Scriven, 262-1667 (Liberty Partnership), or Patty Montrois, 262-1621 (Executive Dean’s Office).
