Your wish is my....

...next project!

Yesterday the Salvation Army sent me the results of a survey of their food bank clients (want a copy - email me), so I passed it along to those who want to know such things. Today I got a rather frantic call from an agency that was totally frustrated that things they do, were being requested of the Salvation Army. He took the requests to mean they didn't know about his program and that they could send people to him.

So we got into a grand discussion on who does what and who knows who does what and why people don't know who does what.

And with these types of things, I found out the new commander of the Salvation Army is due in soon. Hearing that I suggested we host a round table so he could meet all the players and perhaps address some of the concerns and negativity (lets be honest it was negative) around changes to the services provided by the Salvation Army.

So with two diverse thoughts, came a single 'event'. I'm pleased to announce:

Accessing Resources:
Who, for What, When is good and How

June 14th
Grey Owen Sound Union Public Library

One of the greatest challenges to working with and assisting people experiencing challenges, such as poverty, disability etc, is working within the system. Accessing Resources is a morning roundtable of networking with various agencies and community groups that address a variety of issues, and concerns within our community

Service providers are invited to attend to bring resources, information and opportunities to the roundtable.
Attendees will leave the day with a better grasp of the resources available and a greater ability to assist their clients.

This event is free, the library space is being sponsored by the Adult Learning Centre and the United Way will pick up the coffee and munchies tab (unless someone wants to sponsor coffee and munchies???)

If you have any questions please ask them, please pass this email around. While this event is for providers and not so much the general public, input from the public is welcome.

Email me for a registration form.
