The Executive Corner
By Dan H. Melyon
Work on developing our Capital Campaign Committees for our much needed new facility is well underway. Our new facility will allow us to provide services more efficiently and effectively to more people and expand some services. Please consider joining one of our committees to work on one of the many aspects of our capital campaign. If you or someone you know would like to help in this effort please do not hesitate to contact me. We know you share our enthusiasm by the increasing number of questions we get about our plans and your willingness to turn these plans into reality.
I can be contacted at 658-1713 ext. 110 or melyond@shalomcenter.org
