Update from Joe Walter Executive Director
Family Promise Washington County
14 March, 2010 #3
Moment by moment we are moving closer to opening the Day Center and accepting families into the Interfaith Hospitality Network. It has been a busy week with a full Board meeting and a meeting that included a majority of the pastors in the network. All are working together as a team to make Family Promise Washington County a reality.
Please note that we have a new mailing address;
Family Promise Washington County
PO Box 438
Slinger, WI 53086
Also note that all communication should be directed to me at the post office box or at my e-mail address jkwalter@netwurx.net
Or call me at 262-339-9157
Fundraising efforts continue. I have been making contacts with friends of Family Promise throughout the County.
Mark your calendar, FPWC has scheduled its first annual golf outing thanks to Tom and Kathy Schwai and a group of volunteers from St. Luke’s church in Slinger. The event will be Saturday, May 8th at Scenic View Country Club. It will be limited to the first 160 golfers. So watch for details and sign up early.
Phones and internet are scheduled to be installed at the Day Center this week. Thanks Dolores Corcoran. By the end of the week my office will be set up at the Day Center.
Thanks to plumber Dave Bohovsky for evaluating the plumbing needs of the Day Center and offering his services to install the washer and dryer.
Needs for the immediate future; Dave Bolender has volunteered to coordinate the painting of the Day Center. If you are interested in being on the crew (our goal is to do it in one day, so please volunteer) please contact Dave at 677-1897 or dbolender@charter.net
Special note; I have 3 members for the grant writing committee. The newest members are Adrian and Kathy Krebs. Thank you guys. I would like a committee of 5. Please get the word out. We need 2 more grant writers. Please, please, please!
Extra, extra……somehow….someway we need to find a 14 passenger van. Send me your ideas.
The network is becoming a united team.
With gratitude for all that you are doing,
Joe Walter Executive Director
