Making Committees Work
Immediate Past Pres. Phil Bonafide followed up last week's Suggestion
Box item of getting our committees back to work with a print-out
of the current assignments and encouraged Pres. Larry Murphy
to follow-up a bit.
Guest Speaker
Steve Loughlin introduced Pres. Bill Johnson, Ozanam Place, to
the club. His organization was established by a task force of
human service providers concerned by the number of single parents
living in poverty in Belknap County. In 1999, Ozanam Place was
incorporated, a board of directors was established, and St. Vincent
de Paul provided the seed money to develop the program. Ozanam
Place is a traditional housing program that combines supportive
services with a housing program that believes in placing homeless
single parents in permanent housing as soon as possible. They
provide housing to 14 families a year at scattered locations.
The offer three programs: Supportive Services, Transitional,
and After-Care.
