Our House e-newsletter February & March 2012 | Page 26

by Ty Stacey, Shelter Manager
Our House would like to recognize and say thank you
to Ms. Cathy and Ms. Laura for their outstanding
service to other residents. These women have worked
hard to become better residents in the Our House
community and better citizens to the community at
large. They have been a joy to get to know and a
pleasure to watch grow.
Our House residents are known for stepping up and
taking responsibility within their community. Laura
and Cathy are no exceptions. These two women
have been at Our House for over a year, and despite
having outside jobs, they both use their free time to
give back to the community.
Over the last year the shelter has had times when
dinner servers did not show up to serve. We never
had to worry because Ms. Cathy and Ms. Laura
always stepped up to the plate (no pun intended).
No one ever had to ask them to help. They took it
upon themselves to serve over eighty residents on
each of those nights. What makes it even better is
that they are both wonderful cooks. The residents
were always fed, and the food was delicious.
It is not uncommon to find these women cooking,
cleaning, or just helping a new resident get
acquainted with the program. They are Awesome!
Ms. Cathy and Ms. Laura, your service is greatly
appreciated!
