Council for Life Fort Worth hosted a dinner at the Rivercrest Country Club on September 25.  More than 220 people attended to hear more about Council for Life’s mission and to hear from Sol Pitchon, president and CEO of New Life Solutions.

Pitchon’s mother was a prisoner of Auschwitz and was forced to undergo a hysterectomy to sterilizing her and prevent her from having children. Through divine intervention, the Nazi doctor was called away before the procedure and the Jewish assistant was ordered to finish the surgery. The doctor made an incision to fake the procedure, granting Pitchon the right to create life. Now her son, Sol Pitchon, is living proof of the grace of the Lord and the importance of the right to life in our society. As the head of New Life Solutions, Sol Pitchon, runs the only pregnancy center in the country that also delivers babies.

Sara and Greg Scheideman served as the honorary chairs for the event. Kirby Anderson, from Point of View radio, was the master of ceremonies.

Council for Life’s Celebrating Life Luncheon will take place November 13 at 11 a.m. at the Hilton Anatole Hotel. President of the nonprofit ministry Life Without Limbs, Nick Vujicic, will serve as the luncheon’s keynote speaker.  Underwriting opportunities are available by contacting Kristina Whitcomb at kristinabush@aol.com.  To purchase tickets contact Patty Lynch Smith at pls4@mac.com.
