In Memorium
TinaMarie Richardson
1968-2004
We are all saddened by the loss of one of our employees, Tina Marie Richardson who passed away on August 18, 2004. Tina was 36 years old. Tina worked at the Shelter as a Senior Youth Counselor and at Passages as a Resident Advisor for the past four years.
STREET OUTREACH GRANT RENEWED BY US HHS
We have just been notified that our street outreach grant has been renewed for a three-year period for $300,000. This is of course very good news for the runaway and homeless youth served by our streeet outreach team, Lisa D'Ottavio and Paula Taylor.
My Place I
The permits have been issued and the work has begun. The electricians and alarm company are hard at work and the furniture has been ordered! The building should be ready in just a few more weeks.
Somerset Savings has just contributed $2,000 toward our My Place I and II efforts this month.
As always, thank you all for your continued hard work on behalf of our youth.
