“ANSWER”

 Jim and Becky Brinson                             

“ANSWER” stands for Andersen Nontraditional Scholarship for Women's Education and Retraining.

Sunday evening at the home of Sy and Liz Johnson we attended a party honoring Jim and Becky Brinson’s marriage last month in India. They traveled to India to be married in the most traditional Hindu way and to honeymoon there.

Little did we know when we attended the party we would learn about an organization called ANSWER providing scholarships for Moms who want to go back to college and get a better education. Since ANSWER is Jim and Becky’s favorite charity instead of the regular party they asked participants in the program to speak.

Party people making a stand for education

Send the Mother to college and the children will follow. What a great concept.

The women that spoke about their experience with ANSWER had received scholarship money and were getting their degrees. One lady was in law school and another was studying education while another was getting her business degree. 

Susan Andersen, founder of ANSWER

Susan Andersen started the organization as a way of giving back after her hardships in obtaining her education. She had no idea how to do what she has done and how successful she has become at this. Everything starts with an idea and everything is possible.

Great party thanks to Liz and Sy opening up their home and hearts to a wonderful cause.
