Where did 2005 go?

Time does go by quickly, and I want to remind you that it’s time for our New Year’s Eve Dress Rehearsal

-Friday Night-December 30

We anticipate a large attendance so we need a large number of volunteers.

Please call Ron, Todd or Roni to let us know we can count on you.

You’ll notice some new dynamics at The House. In fact if you lose your way, just look for the bring light in the sky.

More Early Pics of The House

These are pictures from our upper level/computer-learning lab.

Best Buy is working with our donated equipment as a business/collaborative networking partners. How wonderful to have the 30+ computers and people who are volunteering to set it all up for us...free.

The red and white awnings are courtesy of TGIFriday's renovations this summer.

The kiosks are from the Mall and it's renovations along w/all their cafe chairs, its Euro Cafe's counter, all the tables we wanted, as well as trash cans, benches, and even Christmas decorations. All of this before we even had an address! We had to rent a storage unit to house the things.

Sport's Authority: 2 basketball goals (they came and put them together for us), basketball cage, and balls.

Sears Outlet: Because of our contact and mission, the manager let's us borrow flat screens as needed for events. We've just picked it up on Friday's and return them Monday.

Love Sak: 1 large sak

Individual gifts: 2 Ping-Pong tables, 1 large screen TV, 1 flat screen TV for our xbox games, refrigerator, freezer, microwave, lateral files that we use for storage of supplies for the cafe. )

The list includes donations of indoor soccer goals, 2 multi-media projectors that we are using for the XBox 360 games, air hockey table and 2 foosball tables. (and more...just too numerous to mention)

The 2 pool tables - The House bought one and the company donated the second.

Again...what amazing things we see in store for 2006--Hope someday you'll have a chance to visit us!
