Don't Miss The Party!
DON’T MISS THE PARTY!
If you haven’t RSVP’d to the May 15th Volunteer Appreciation Carnival, please do so soon! There’s even time left to join the Talent Show.
Lots of news to share with you today….
As some may have heard, our fearless leader Dale Mullenix underwent a minor cardiac procedure this week. He is heading home today and will spend the rest of the week kicking back and relaxing. He will return to the office next Monday. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY H2H!
From Caroline: “H2H turns 3 years old this month and just got a great birthday present! Last November, we applied for funds through the federal Continuum of Care competitive application, and HUD recently announced our application was fully funded. The award is for three years and will provide rental subsidies for an additional 5 people in H2H. We will pair these funds with additional Shelter Plus Care vouchers, so overall H2H is on track to provide supportive housing to another 15 neighbors by the end of the year!”
Feel like giving H2H a Birthday present?
They are currently in need of one dryer, two washers AND a few fishing poles and some fishing supplies (we’re told that these are for the neighbors and not Joann’s day off).
Volunteer Tour Group Leaders
Thank you to the volunteers who attended our training last Friday. If anyone else is interested, please let us know. We will schedule additional training dates soon.
Survey at the Gate!
It’s that time of year again where we take count of our neighbors and what services they are seeking by asking a few questions at the entrance gates. We still need volunteers on Monday, May 23 for the following time slots:
· 7:00 a.m. – 9:00 a.m.
· 9:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m.
Let us know if you can lend a hand for this important survey. Much of the information collected is used for us to assess our services, the need in the community and for grant applications.
Counselors – please do not forget that LensCrafters is full until June. Check with Paul before making any future appointment requests. Thank you!
If you are currently not receiving the fantastic Enewsletter from our Development office, please let us know. It has oodles of information about everything going on here at UMC!
And, finally, the SOS…we know you love it…
MAIL – Friday, May 13
COUNSELORS – Monday, May 9 P.M.
