Our House e-newsletter January & February 2013 | Page 7

Ms. McNeil explained to me that the computer course she took here at
Our House prepared her for the workforce and changed the nature
and quality of her subsequent career. Ms. McNeil said that she had set
aside some money to donate to a charitable cause but was unsure
where to donate. Then she was struck with the memory of Our House
and the profound impact our Learning Center had had on the course
of her life. She decided to drive over and make a donation.
We are proud to serve Sonia McNeil and members of our local community, whether or not they live on our campus, and we are thrilled to
learn of her success and the role our organization played in it. We are
deeply grateful for those who have been a part of our community and
return to give back!

The Learning Center continues to
provide adult students with computer classes through our HandsOn IT course led by volunteer
Denise Palmer.
Ms. McNeil’s generous donation
could not have come at a better
time. Thanks to her, we were able
to purchase enough flash drives to
support Learning Center students
looking to sharpen their computer
skills.
