Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting with Carol E. Briney, the executive director of the Reentry Bridge Network(RBN). Carol is a delightful woman full of energy, inspiration and vision mixed with the ability to make things happen! Not only is she undertaking the development of a new facility to house RBN, she is planning the future of a 'community kitchen', with her nephew Clint for the City of Canton.
As I toured the construction site of the new home for RBN, I was touched by its mission: To effectively reduce recidivism by bridging the communication and education gap between Prisoners and the communities they are being released into. Their new center includes art, music,recording and theater programs to name a few, with methods to bring this INTO the Canton community at large.
I hope to share an opening night with this community and will put it on my future schedule, along with my commitment to helping them actualize their own community kitchen.
To learn more about RBN and Carol Briney and her incredible staff go to:
If you ever find yourself in Canton, Ohio please stop by and say hello to this wonderful organization at 408 Ninth Street SW. Just go south on Market Street, through the downtown and turn right on 9th( where there is the Enterprise car rental lot)!
