Labor Day weekend

Things slow down a bit here at CHS-Parkersburg over a holiday weekend, as many staff take well deserved rests/ breaks from their dedicated work with area children and families. We look ahead to Neighborhood Day, the Emergency Shelter Provider Network conference we are in effect, hosting next week. A folk music coffee house next week also, featuring Stacey Earle and Mark Stuart. Then on into the full tilt fall schedule of things. The charity golf tournament for the WE CAN program is coming up October 2nd. We are waiting to hear about a couple of major grants we have submitted, which would kick us into high gear, gearing up some additional programming to augment our mission and local strategic vision. The shelter has a licensing review this fall. We try to stabilize our financial situation for the early childhood programming. We will be replacing our foster care aide position, as Greg moves over to the Shelter. We are continuing planning of the major fund raising event in November in conjunction with the Art Center. The Americana Music Tribute Series continues with the 8th Annual John Prine Tribute in October, and a raffle for two tickets to see John in Columbus Ohio is going on up to the Tribute benefit.
As always, a bustling hive of activity here at CHS-Parkersburg!!!
