Good News, everyone: we will officially begin to take our first residents September 1, 2010. In the meantime, we have a temporary tenant in Miss Beverly's House - this helps us pay the bills and not lose our insurance!
It is looking very hopeful that Miss Beverly's target population will be young women who are aging out of the foster-care system, women who would benefit from a group home until ready to be on their own. We are very excited about this. It is also looking good that Miss Beverly's House will have an in-house den-mom, so to speak - a mentor and friend who will live in the house with the young women. We will be able to house four women at a time.
If you're looking for a volunteer project for a Saturday in late July and in August - we will need some extra hands. Our projects:
1. Plant grass and flowers
2. Trim windows and doors
3. Add storm/screen doors front and back
We will be working every Saturday in August from 9-2 a.m. If you can come and work one hour, two hours....or whatever.....we would love your help -- hey, we'll even serve you sandwiches and ice tea if you're around during lunch time. Call or e-mail me for other details you may need.
Cheers to all ----
GibAnn
