Greetings!

| | Randy Nicklaus, President |
We celebrated Children's Day at the Capitol this week with hundreds of other service providers and child advocates. Many other outreach events are also underway this month to promote our Help Me Grow services and Helpline 2-1-1 hotline assistance.
.
The Kearney Center had its grand opening this month and residents from The Shelter will move in next week. Our staff are involved with the development of polices procedures for the new Center as well as planning for our software upgrade so we can integrate our system with he Continuum of Care HMIS software.
.
A Night in the Tropics will be here soon - April 25th. We are excited to have some new additions this year including Crooked Shooz who will be performing, Connie's Hams as our caterer and Proof Beer on tap. Thanks to Krispy Kreme for being our Lifeline Sponsor. Please join us! Tickets available at www.211bigbend.org/Tropics2015

Best regards,
Randy

"When I left my real job, I had zero dollars and I had to live off the generosity of other people which I didn't feel to good about at the time. So having been virtually destitute myself, it gives you an indelible memory of what it's like to be out there without."
