SUMMARY:KC Oasis Volunteers at Micah Ministry
DESCRIPTION:At Kansas City Oasis our values are “People are more important than beliefs\,” “human hands solve human problems\,” and “meaning comes from making a difference.” In that spirit\, we partner with Micah Ministry to help feed and clothe those in need. \nThe Micah Ministry is a charitable organization that seeks to help anyone\, regardless of race\, gender\, religious (or nonreligious) affiliation\, sex\, sexual orientation\, or any other trait – as long as they could use some help\, the Micah Ministry is there to help them. \nThe Micah Ministry operates in a way that’s a bit different from traditional support organizations. They feed those who seek their services with a restaurant-style waiting operation: Volunteers take drink and food orders and deliver the food to them\, providing seconds if needed and continuing to refill their drinks as needed. \nIn addition to food\, if there are enough volunteers\, they operate a clothing and household items (toiletries\, candles\, blankets\, and other items) store. Volunteers ask each person for their order\, go back into the store room\, and retrieve the requested items as long as they are in stock. \nThe Micah Ministry is a religious organization\, which means that the event is started by an optional group prayer at the beginning. \nWe have never been pressured to pray with them and they have always been glad to have us participate in their group. \nPictures are permitted to be taken prior to the admission of those in need\, but\, once people are being admitted into the dining area\, no pictures are allowed. \nBy participating in this event\, you agree to abide by the Oasis Code of Conduct (https://www.kcoasis.org/about-oasis/code-of-conduct/).

SUMMARY:Sunday Gathering: Deb Vacek\, "Hiking the Appalachian Trail"
DESCRIPTION:Doors open at 10:30 am for coffee and conversation.\nSunday Gathering begins at 11 a.m.\nChildcare is provided. Everyone is welcome!\nProgram ends at 12:30 p.m. \nFeatured Speaker: Deb Vacek\, “Hiking the Appalachian Trail”\nCommunity Moment: Joshua Stuart\nMusical Guest: Rick Kloog \nDeb Vacek grew up in Omaha\, Nebraska\, and settled in Kansas City in 1984\, after earning her BFA. In 1986\, she started working at the Metropolitan Community Colleges district office\, where she worked for 26 years\, earning her master’s degree from Kansas State while simultaneously jumping the IT wave of the 1990s. She ended her career with the Web Applications Development and Design team in her early 50s. \nUpon retirement from MCC\, Deb worked briefly as an application designer for a small IT company. Soon after the company disbanded\, she heard an interview with Cheryl Strayed\, author of Wild\, while driving one afternoon. She pulled her car into a parking lot and sat mesmerized by Strayed’s journey. Since childhood\, Deb’s own call for adventure had only been expressed in brief outings. Retirement afforded Deb the personal time and space for a multimonth hike\, but now the only excuse for not heeding the call for adventure was the stigma of age and gender – a 50-plus woman out in the woods alone. \nIn this presentation\, Deb will discuss how the deaths of two friends and her aunt gave her strength to move past her fears and complete a thru-hike of the 1\,289.5-mile Appalachian Trail in 2017. Her talk will include trail lessons\, Tramily (trail family)\, hardships and wonder. Deb will bring her packed backpack for exploration for anyone interested. \n*By participating in this event\, you agree to abide by the Oasis Code of Conduct (https://www.kcoasis.org/about-oasis/code-of-conduct/). \n

Everyone is welcome!\nProgram ends at 12:30 p.m. \nFeatured Speaker: Ron Ruhnke\, “The Perils\, Pitfalls and Possibilities of Individuality”\nMusical Guest: JJ Cantrell\nCommunity Moment: Susana Bruhn \nIndividuality vs. community.

The second part is entitled “The Perils\, Pitfalls\, and Possibilities of Community\,” and will be presented February 17. \nRon received his B.S.E. from Emporia State University\, and his Ph.D. in counseling psychology from The University of Texas at Austin. He also studied at the University of Oklahoma\, the United States International University in San Diego\, and the University of Freiburg in Freiburg\, Germany. He taught high school in Salina\, Kansas\, worked at a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center in Lincoln\, Nebraska\, and was employed for 27 years as a psychologist and therapist at Family Guidance Center in St. Joseph\, Missouri.

SUMMARY:KC Oasis Volunteers at Micah Ministry
DESCRIPTION:At Kansas City Oasis our values are “People are more important than beliefs\,” “human hands solve human problems\,” and “meaning comes from making a difference.” In that spirit\, we partner with Micah Ministry to help feed and clothe those in need. \nThe Micah Ministry is a charitable organization that seeks to help anyone\, regardless of race\, gender\, religious (or nonreligious) affiliation\, sex\, sexual orientation\, or any other trait – as long as they could use some help\, the Micah Ministry is there to help them. \nThe Micah Ministry operates in a way that’s a bit different from traditional support organizations. They feed those who seek their services with a restaurant-style waiting operation: Volunteers take drink and food orders and deliver the food to them\, providing seconds if needed and continuing to refill their drinks as needed. \nIn addition to food\, if there are enough volunteers\, they operate a clothing and household items (toiletries\, candles\, blankets\, and other items) store. Volunteers ask each person for their order\, go back into the store room\, and retrieve the requested items as long as they are in stock. \nThe Micah Ministry is a religious organization\, which means that the event is started by an optional group prayer at the beginning. \nWe have never been pressured to pray with them and they have always been glad to have us participate in their group. \nPictures are permitted to be taken prior to the admission of those in need\, but\, once people are being admitted into the dining area\, no pictures are allowed. \nBy participating in this event\, you agree to abide by the Oasis Code of Conduct (https://www.kcoasis.org/about-oasis/code-of-conduct/).

SUMMARY:Sunday Gathering: Kelly Hewitt\, Immigration Law and Asylum
DESCRIPTION:Doors open at 10:30 am for coffee and conversation.\nSunday Gathering begins at 11 a.m.\nChildcare is provided. Everyone is welcome!\nProgram ends at 12:30 p.m. \nFeatured Speaker: Kelly Hewitt\,\nImmigration Law and Asylum: Demystifying the Asylum Process\nMusical Guest: Mark Lowrey\nCommunity Moment: TBA \nAsylum law is so complex\, an entire semester of law school could be spent on it. This presentation endeavors to briefly explain the asylum process to help participants understand the alleged “crisis” at our southern border. It will focus on the legal path to asylum in the United States and debunking the myths and lies prevalent in the media. \nNote: Due to the terrible situations asylum seekers are fleeing\, this presentation may include mention of violence\, domestic violence and sexual assault. None of these situations will be described in detail. \nKelly Hewitt is a fierce advocate for immigrants. Before becoming a lawyer\, Kelly was a social worker in Kansas City\, advancing the rights of crime victims. Now as an attorney Kelly uses that same passion for social justice to zealously pursue her clients’ rights in Immigration Court\, before the USCIS and on appeal. Kelly is a fluent Spanish speaker. \n*By participating in this event\, you agree to abide by the Oasis Code of Conduct (https://www.kcoasis.org/about-oasis/code-of-conduct/). \n  \n
