Volunteering can be an exciting, growing, enjoyable experience. It is truly gratifying to serve a cause, practice one's ideals, work with people, solve problems, see benefits, and know one had a hand in them.

 Volunteer training
Mark your calendar for the last volunteer training of 2009!  If you never attended an official training or if you would like a refresher, please join us Saturday, September 26 from 10:00 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. RSVP to Patty at 610-692-6550 or SafeHarborShelter@comcast.net This volunteer training is for people who wish to volunteer their time in the evening assisting our evening staff from 3:30-6:00 p.m. and 6:00-9:00 p.m.
Attention Evening Shelter Office Volunteers
New volunteers (over 57 of them!) are being trained and scheduled through the end of the year with our current volunteers.  We know that you will all welcome our new volunteers and help show them the ropes!
Golf Outing
A little "BIRDIE" is inviting you to get into the "SWING" of things and join us "FORE" a fun day of golfing at Radley Run Country Club on October 26.  Put your "TEE" on (the country club actually prefers Polo shirts!), gather a "FOURSOME" and help us raise funds for Safe Harbor.  For more information, click here Radley Run Country Club Golf Outing
FYI: An updated Volunteer Handbook has been printed and is in the wire basket on the small bookshelf in the office (near the men's dorm).  Please pick up your copy today! 
Jewelry Party Sales benefits Safe Harbor
Silpada Designs jewelry is looking forward to participating in a Fundraiser to benefit the Safe Harbor Shelter.  All proceeds will be donated to help with the on-going renovations at the Shelter.
 
Silpada Design is fine .925 solid sterling silver jewelry, bonded with copper and not nickel, so no allergic reactions can occur.  Our 500 items, some with gemstones,  are handmade by craftsmen from around the world, and each piece comes with a Lifetime Guarantee.  Prices range from $12 to $276.  I offer individual sales, fundraisers, and home parties where the Hostesses receive 30% of their total retail sales plus any item at 50% off if minimun sales are met.
 
If you would like to host a gathering, please contact Mary Carlson at 610-696-0386 or e-mail at  Mary.Carlson@WestonSolutions.com
 
This would be a great time to gather your friends and family to do some early holiday shopping and beat the holiday rush all while supporting Safe Harbor!
FREE TO GOOD HOME: HP57 Tri-color cartridge.  We no longer have the equipment that used this cartridge.  Call Patty at 610-692-6550 to make arrangements for pick up.
 LAPTOP NEEDED
Safe Harbor is in need of a laptop for our Resident Advocate.  If you are able to donate a slightly used or new laptop, please contact the office at 610-692-6550.  We very much appreciate your consideration for this request.
