| Banquet
for Life features national speakers
National speakers and an Apple iPad door prize will highlight the Hope Center’s “Banquet 4 Life” on Friday evening, May 10, at the Sts. Peter & Paul Parish Center in Grangeville. 
Kelly Clinger was a singer on the Mickey Mouse Club and a background vocalist for pop star Britney Spears. After suffering two abortions, addiction and divorce, Kelly was rescued in 2003 when she began attending church. She is dynamic young speaker, now a spokeswoman for the Silent No More Awareness Campaign, and uses her music talent as a worship leader/singer/song-writer. She recorded her first album, “In Your Delay,” in 2008, and currently is working on her second album. Kelly lives in Kansas City with her husband and two children. Her husband, Matthew Clinger, is a PGA golf pro/teaching professional. After sitting silent beside Kelly as their first two children were aborted, Matt became convicted that abortion hurts women and children. He now travels with Kelly and speaks up for fathers who are suffering from lost fatherhood through abortion. He has a passion for helping youth and men become voices for the unborn.  The
