Meeting Our People...
It is with the never-ending assistance from our volunteers and the Board of Directors that we are able to provide the court-ordered parenting times between children and their non-residential parents in the Denver metro area. We’d like you to meet some of these people and, from time to time, we’ll be introducing them to you. We hope it might entice you, too, to become involved!
Central Visitation Program is Liza Kirkpatrick’s passion. Since joining the Board of CVP in 2004, she has been actively involved in and committed to all phases of CVP’s mission, bringing with her graciousness, hospitality, and the innate ability to make each person she touches feel special just by saying “Hello”. Each year, as well as arranging for beautiful decorations, Liza prepares the delicious and elegant food for CVP’s Annual Fundraiser. She is dedicated to the CVP volunteers, bringing smiles to their faces and delivering handwritten birthday cards to their homes. She has a knack for words, too, as she helps with grant writing and proofreading correspondence in the CVP office. In her “spare time”, Liza volunteers at Metro CareRing in downtown Denver and is an active member and deacon at her church. Liza, for all you do, thank you! We are delighted to have you as part of the CVP family!
