Dancing Nun Fundraiser
Sunday, January 14, 2007 8:14:06 AM

Many Catholic nuns kicked off their traditional habits to dance the night away at this fundraiser last night in Altamonte Springs.

These nuns serve the Office for Farmworker Ministry, based in Apopka. They were looking to raise money for a new community center that will provide services such as counseling and after-school programs for the growing number of immigrant farm workers and low-income families living in Central Florida.

Sister Anne Kendrick from the Office for Farmworker Ministry said, "We're committed especially to helping immigrants adjust to life in the United States and actually to enrich our community by bringing to us some of their values and cultural values, family values, things that will help to improve our own North American society."

Construction is already underway for the $1.7 million Hope Community Center.

The sisters hope to have the center up and running sometime this summer.
