| “I would like to express our appreciation for the solid support and assistance Racine Vocational Ministry (RVM) has been to this community. The leader and inspirational guide, Jim Schatzman, has been tireless in his efforts to give those who come to RVM an opportunity for a second chance. We have had a number of opportunities to work with the RVM, and Jim, and to hire some of the young people who have been helped by his efforts. We will continue to do so as we have not been disappointed. Thank you, Racine Vocational Ministry!” Jerry Scott, City of Racine – Human Resources/Affirmative Action Officer |
