The featured speaker at the Luncheon will be former abortionist Dr. Anthony Levatino. Dr. Levatino will share his unique perspective about why a physician who has been trained to give life would take it away. The story of his conversion to pro-life has educated and motivated audiences worldwide. From selfish motives to true understanding, Dr. Levatino will discuss what it was like to perform abortions and the toll it took on his family until a personal tragedy occurred.
The Honorary Luncheon Chair for the Luncheon is Mrs. Spencer Neville Brown, Sr.
Luncheon Co-Chairs are Kay Bond and Valerie Robinson, and they believe Dr. Levatino’s amazing story combined with the increased level of awareness about Council for Life Central Texas will attract many Central Texans to the event.
The 2022 Luncheon will be the fourth event since CFL Central Texas began in November 2019.
Nearly 300 Central Texans attended the 2021 Celebrating Life Luncheon fundraiser at Ridgewood Country Club to learn more about the life-affirming organization that expanded to Waco and Central Texas in 2019.
In November 2019, more than 100 Waco residents braved the rainy weather to learn about Council for Life at the home of Betsy and Clifton Robinson. Forty-three event host couples, as well as others, generously contributed seed money to launch the Waco affiliate, all of which will aid Waco area efforts and agencies as they relate to unplanned pregnancies.
The Waco gathering ended beautifully when Chairwomen Lisa Chenot and Sally Bledsoe and TFNB Your Bank for Life CEO and President, David Littlewood, presented checks to Care Net Pregnancy Center of Central Texas and Nightlight Christian Adoptions.
Attendees were inspired by Council for Life Founder Emeritus Ann Carruth’s introductory remarks about Council for Life’s founding 18 years ago in Dallas by a small group of Christian women who were deeply disturbed and grieved by the devastation of abortion.
Attendees were further inspired by two poignant stories from Claudia Jones and her husband, Philip, an attorney turned minister, and Le’yandria Ratomski.
Listen to Founder Emeritus Ann Carruth’s introductory remarks about Council for Life’s start, and two poignant stories that brought to life our mission and why our presence in Waco is so very needed.
