"Thanks"giving


The Lutheran church hosted a Thanksgiving meal for all the JH residents at the Prince of Peace Church. The food was furnished, cooked and served by St Paul's Lutheran Church. What a great group of generous giving people.

Our Executive Director has returned for the warm confines of his place in Phoenix. It's good to have him back and involved in the JH operation.

We had a major repair job on the 1st floor of the Bischoff House on Vine Street. The floor was in bad shape from water damage and previous termite infestations. Small matter of $30,000 to bring it up to speed. Contributions would be welcomed.

Our resident population is now hovering around 100 damaged vets. 100 is our capacity.

A lot of activity coming for Christmas. We have received generous contributions from numerous sources. An example is 105 very nice knit hats we received from an organization called "Knitters for Obama". Not really a political organization. Just a group from numerous states knitting to help the needy. How nice is that!
