We want to take a moment to thank everyone who attended and contributed to the success of our Summit on December 2nd!

The entire event couldn’t have been possible without the generous funding from the Honorable Don Knabe. Supervisor Knabe has been a loyal supporter of Friends Outside Los Angeles County for years and we truly appreciate everything his office has done for our efforts to serve the community.

We would also like to extend a special thank you to our  Keynote Speaker, Ann Adalist Estrin, MS, Director of the National Resource Center on Children and Families of the Incarcerated-Rutgers University-Camden

We’ve received exceptional praise for all of the presentations.  We feel the event was a successful step towards developing more partnerships in this field and educating the public about the unique needs of children with incarcerated parents.

Mother of two very accomplished daughters, an astronaut and a Presbyterian minister, Joyce Ride was an Encino housewife before she became a board member for Friends Outside in Los Angeles County and started visiting female inmates.  A self-described person who “can’t stand injustice,” Mrs. Ride (Joyce) spent a significant amount of time and money to gain the release of an imprisoned woman, Gloria Killian, because she believed in her claims of innocence.  Meet this fascinating and unique woman who inspires us to be true to our beliefs.
