well, again this year we have made our small contribution to the Miami County Family Abuse Shelter. a donation in the amount of $150 was made to the grocery bill for the shelter... currently, the Christmas dinner will provided by us , as well.
great news! the FEIN (Federal Employer Identification Number has been applied for, and secured. we have hired a lady in Urbana to manage the Foundation financial side, due to the amount of time, and talent it requires.
we also have our firt official "direct deposit" donors, all of whom i work with.. now, ANYBODY can do this! a simple buck a week(or more!) goes directly to the people who need it most. not many organizations can truly claim that! contact any of our members for more information.
we are also looking forward to working with the Miami County Victims Advocates office, for the adopt-a-family program....they have also asked us, and we graciously accepted, to serve the refreshments for their annual Homicide Rememberance evening, the 5th of December... One of our Board members Kim Pooler will be speaking. while it wont be enjoyable, it is necessary...wish us luck, or better yet, come help us!
keep in mind, foks the only way we can help someone is with your information. most people, me included wont come ask for help. so we rely heavily on the tips we get from you. know someone who has been through a life changin experience? neighbor having hard times? let us know, see if we can help...
i promise to be back in a week or so, till then, habve the Merriest of Christmases...!
