Enjoy Jacob Marley’s Christmas Carol —free of charge!
Park Square Theatre has graciously donated its performance
on this night to Emma Norton Services.

Site work
Thanks to a group of dedicated volunteers, Emma Norton Services will soon feature a remodeled website. The new site, under construction right now, will be more informative, easier to navigate, and have an updated design. Look for easier paths & better scenery as we make this journey.

ENS' Executive Director, Jodi Pfarr
Emma Norton Services welcomes Jodi Pfarr as our new Executive Director. Jodi served as the Special Needs Coordinator for the Salvation Army Harbor Lights from 1996-1998, where she managed a shelter for men and women who had either a mental or physical condition which made them more vulnerable on the street. She was the Housing Director for Catholic Charities from 1998- 2005, where she successfully managed four affordable housing facilities serving a diverse population dealing with chemical dependency and mental illness. Most recently, from 2001 on, she ran her own consulting company, conducting seminars to communities across the U.S. and Canada on the causes of poverty and how to bring all classes of people together to combat it. Her education includes a Masters of Divinity from United Theological Seminary. Jodi has said, "The strongest and most effective institution is one that insists that voices from poverty, middle and wealthy classes are heard and acted upon. This effort will require that everyone is willing to become conscious of their own class attitudes while working to learn from one another. I am excited and honored to be able to work for an institution that has such a great history of commitment to bringing people together to change the lives of women." Jodi began her new duties on January 1, 2008.
