Hope “Building” Update
By Mark Gluck
Have you looked for a reason to become more
involved with your club, to satisfy that desire to
do more for and with the communities of which
you are a part? Maverick Region is one of the major
sponsors of the Hope Shelter, for victims of domestic
violence. Through
the club's activities
over the years we
have become a welcome
benefactor of
some very deserving
people. Our participation
has been significant
with respect
to the overall aspirations
and needs of
the shelter, and much
appreciated.
Members of the club
are always treated as
very special people
whenever we visit
the Shelter. We make
donations of cash and
goods throughout the
year, gleaned from our
various events. A few
months ago we got the idea to think MUCH bigger.
Our club, with participation from the community at
large, is going to see that a new 5,000 square foot facility
is created to further the efforts of the shelter for years
to come. We are committed to this possibility, and a
dedicated team is working on the foundations, so to
Yes! I want to help. Here’s how:
speak. We have found many people are excited about
the possibility of being associated with such a worthy
project, and one that is linked so closely with their club.
I encourage you to contact me to see how you might
easily contribute - not necessarily monetarily, but with
assistance, contacts
and expertise.
We have
already completed
design
requirements
and concepts,
initial project
plans and time
lines. We are
presently dealing
with zoning,
permits,
etc. and,
depending on
the results,
hope to move
quickly to
final plans
and construction!
That can only happen
with the broad participation of our club members and
others in the community. The key to our success is participation
by interested people such as you. Mention
our project to a few other people, give THEM the
opportunity to participate if they wish. Tell us how
you want to participate. This is a gift that will give
back to you and them many times over.
