Volunteer to Win

We're going to win marriage back, together. And we're going to do it by talking to people about marriage one-on-one. Because we know that to change hearts and minds, we need to do the hard work of knocking on doors - it's those personal conversations that work. http://www.eqca.org/site/pp.asp?c=kuLRJ9MRKrH&b=5174069

Cinefamily:

The Cinefamily is a non-profit organization devoted to finding and presenting interesting and unusual programs of exceptional, distinctive, weird and wonderful films.

Like campfires, sporting events and church services, we believe that movies work best as social experiences. They are more meaningful, funnier and scarier when shared with others. Our home is the Silent Movie Theatre, one of Hollywood's most beloved and beautiful cultural landmarks. There, The Cinefamily will provide a destination spot for Los Angelenos and others to rediscover the pleasures of cinema. volunteer@cinefamily.org
