Brethren Volunteer Service plans Florida orientation unit, open potluck.

Brethren Volunteer Service (BVS) Unit 258 will begin training at Ithiel Camp and Retreat Center in Gotha, Fla., beginning Jan. 18.

Sixteen volunteers plan to be part of the orientation, including five from Germany, although none are members of the Church of the Brethren. A highlight of the orientation will be a long-weekend visit to the Eglise des Freres Haitiens in Miami.

The unit plans an open potluck as part of its orientation experience. All who feel connected to BVS or Civilian Public Service (CPS) are invited to the camp at 6 p.m. Jan. 25, for an evening of fun, food, and sharing dreams and memories.
