The Washington Club’s sixth annual “Have a Heart” Luncheon honored the Georgetown Ministry Center Feb. 14 for outstanding and compassionate service to homeless individuals in our community. A video presentation by Nelson A. Cuellar showcased the fundamental services and opportunities for social interaction that the GMC provides in a clubhouse setting adjacent to Grace Church. Keynote speaker Dr. Roland J. Koshes spoke of treatment of mental illness in the homeless and indigent. Event chair Arden Batch presented an award to GMC executive director Gunther Stern, who in turn gave her a crystal heart.
