so many of our residents are estranged from their loved ones and
kin. Our residents take what is for many a difficult time of year
and turn it into something unique and special. Dr. Vicki Lind, a
UALR music professor, has brought a level of professionalism
and organization to this effort for the last few years, and a decent
cohort of staff and volunteers add their talents to the mix as well.
Jimmy Townsend has lived at Our House for several months now.
Music and performance isn’t new to him. “I’ve done Christmas
plays at my church. I was a youth organizer at New Holly Grove
Church in August, Arkansas. I assisted with the music program
for the kids, and I did several talent shows.”
