[Lekooks] Decision on Family Promise Emergency Overflow Shelter Participation

[Gina Magnus]

Hello All,

Thank you for your input on our potential participation in the newly
proposed Family Promise model.  After considering all of the responses and
having a conversation with Rev. Matt, it has been decided that we will
participate in the program. At least we will give it the old college try!
If need be, we can always opt out or better, we can partner with another
church to share the load if it proves to be too much.

The current plan is that the EOS will open on November 13 and if we stay
with the third Thursday of the month, we will "host" on the 16th.  I have
asked if we could switch to a Monday or Tuesday so that the idea of our
volunteers making a meal to share together after church on Sunday might
work.  Stay tuned on that topic.

Good News:  Meal categories will be assigned by Family Promise which will
make our role easier.  I will create a monthly SignUp Genius that will
break the meal down into  manageable parts so that all who wish to
participate will have an option.  For those who expressed the desire to
donate money, this is also very much appreciated. We will sort out the
details with the Finance Committee and see if we can make that happen. We
will let you know asap.

More good news.....one of the four families currently in the shelter, mom
with 3 children, has signed a lease and will be moving out!!   The program
is working. This leaves 3 families in the shelter, 3 moms and 6 children.

Thanks to All, and as always, please feel free to call or text me with
questions or concerns.....I am not always speedy with emails, but I get
there eventually!  :/
