Hosts serve the vital role of introducing people to the Pregnancy Resource Center by inviting them to attend the banquet as guests and filling a table of 10 seats. Many people are introduced to the ministry through these invitations.

Keynote Speakers — Julie & Derrick Tennant
Julie has Down Syndrome, a condition caused by an “extra” chromosome. Her grampa said it wasn’t extra, but everyone else is MISSING it. He called it The LOVE Chromosome. We think you’ll agree that Julie is a very wise and insightful person after hearing her story at this year’s banquet! Julie’s brother, Derrick, was a gifted athlete. He was progressing in sports when one evening he laid down but did not wake up. When he woke up three days later, he was paralyzed on one side of his body. Learning to better demonstrate love in the midst of difficulty was essential to Derrick’s survival and vitality. Derrick and Julie now travel the world sharing their stories and encouraging others to use obstacles as opportunities.
