A Place Called Home Update - CUPE 855

GEROME THE HOMELESS GNOME – CROSS CANADA TOUR
Once again Gerome the Garden Gnome had work all summer and did not have need
of our shelter services. Since the cold weather arrived, Gerome is again known as
Gerome the Homeless Gnome. This fall however he had an opportunity for a little
adventure (see pics here and on our website at www.aplacecalledhome.org) and
now has his own email address where you can send him well wishes, ask questions
or invite him to come with a helper to speak at your school, church or other group.
Send an email to Gerome at geromeagnome@gmail.com.
This year A Place Called Home is asking you
to support Gerome by donating the cost of
a room at our shelter for one, two, five or
more nights in our hostel at $48.58 per
night.
Since Gerome is a garden Gnome and can
hunker down in our office for the night, all
the money he collects will go toward
covering bednight costs for a man, woman
or child who needs a safe place to stay.
To see Gerome’s history – check out the
January 2011 Newsletter on our website.
