We have a number of donated items that have been stored in an empty truck trailer behind Joel’s Place: couches, dining room set, chairs, metal framed bunk beds, desks, etc. all for the shelter. This spring the roof was leaking from snow melt so I purchased 3 blue tarps and tossed them over some of…

I gathered the submissions for the FYA logo contest from Facebook and am posting them here for an environment for us to discuss. At this point, we don’t have to choose one, but we should at least make a decision as to whether we want to or not. So, share your thoughts. Either a vote,…

After the Arctic Alliance meeting yesterday, the new JPSOS AmeriCorps director talked to me about how things are changing for the state wide AmeriCorps programs.

Rodney Gaskins, F Rescue Mission, and I met for 2 hours yesterday and again for an hour or so. This is what we are looking at in a nut shell: 1. Idea One: The Rescue Mission absorbs this project of the youth shelter into a program of the Rescue Mission. They would not micro-manage, they…
