From the desk of the Director…
Summer here we come! Here are just a few updates.
1. As you can see construction on the church is moving along. As they begin to bring in more materials, it may be necessary for us to close the Center. If this decision needs to be made we will make sure to give everyone as much
notice as possible. 2. I want to remind everyone it is your responsibility to sign yourself in on
Co-Pilot every time you come into the Center. This is very important because it is a requirement of Allegheny County.
3. Also please remember it is your responsibility to sign up for lunch by noon the day before. We ONLY order as many lunches as we have people signed
up. We CANNOT guarantee that there will be extra food. 4. In this month’s newsletter are the final names of those who donated to our
2016 Mail Appeal. I again want to thank everyone for their donations to support our programs and services.
