Hope Shelter Update<br />

by Bill Middleton<br />

Yes folks, the Hope Project is alive and well – it didn’t go<br />

away, it just got eclipsed for a short while by the hoopla<br />

The Hope Team<br />

of Parade! We have all been quietly busy doing the<br />

background work, and things are ready to start happening in Lisa Huffaker Director of Hope Inc.<br />

very visible ways!<br />

In the past few months, several important things have Lanean Hughes lhughes@fmstech.com<br />

happened on the road to making a new Hope a reality. It was<br />

... the Hope Project is alive and well ...<br />

Ron Colbert ron@exeltech.com<br />

John Lersch deelersch@compuserve.com<br />

discovered earlier in the year that the property on which Justin Hiegel jrhiegel@msn.com<br />

Hope currently sits was not suitable for construction, so<br />

an effort began in earnest to find another location. This has<br />

culminated in the purchase of a NEW lot just two blocks up<br />

the street from the current Hope<br />

site that is an excellent location!<br />

Conceptual drawings have<br />

been in process for about 2<br />

months now, and just recently the<br />

final floor plan has been produced.<br />

A preliminary set of drawings has<br />

been sent to the City for review<br />

and comments, and if there are no<br />

major issues, full drawings for<br />

permit will be produced shortly!<br />

At this rate, it is fully expected<br />

that the project should be ready to<br />

go to permit within weeks! We<br />

could see construction begin<br />

before the end of the year!<br />

At this time, what is most<br />

needed is the STUFF that will<br />

become the reality of Hope –<br />

Linda Bambina bina@airmail.net<br />

construction materials, skilled<br />

trade labor, individuals who can<br />

help with their time, talents, and<br />

resources. Please contact any<br />

Hope Team member for more<br />

information on how you can help<br />

build Hope!<br />

Groundbreaking ceremony<br />

will take place on Sunday,<br />

December 19th at 2:00 pm. Please<br />

come and support this great<br />

project. Following the ceremony<br />

will be a sharing of holiday treats<br />

with the clients at Hope<br />

Please contact a Hope Team<br />

member if you have resources to<br />

offer, or wish to be kept informed<br />

of Hope activities.<br />
