To Host
OPEN HOUSE!!

The Refuge will be hosting an “Open House” on Sunday May 22, 2011. They would like to invite everyone to tour their new facility and share some light refreshments in their new home at 506 W. Adams Street. The Open House will be held from 2:00 P.M. to 4:00 P.M. on Sunday afternoon. Come and go as you please.
The Refuge would also like to apologize for having to postpone their appreciation social. A new date has been set. The Refuge will be hosting an appreciation social Friday night May 20, 2011 at 7:00 P.M. This is for all the volunteers that have helped The Refuge which includes construction volunteers and movers, office volunteers, and banquet/silent auction volunteers. If your subgroup is not mentioned, please know that this invitation does include you too.
Remember The Refuge serves any woman who has a child less than 3 years of age through their “Hope Program”. They also provide free pregnancy testing and proof of pregnancy. If you are already pregnant The Refuge may be able to help you with maternity clothes, prenatal education, and child birth classes.
The “Hope Program” is an earn as you learn program in which the clients are rewarded with diapers, baby food, clothing, toys and baby furniture in exchange for the time they spend in classes, attending church, reading books, and watching videos and DVDs. This program is available to parents with children under 3 years of age.
Current classes offered are Anger Management every Tuesday at 5:00 P. M., “Connect Wednesday” at 10:00 A. M., and beginning Monday, June 13th there will also be an evening “Connect” class. Parenting classes are on Thursday at 5:00 P. M. and we will soon be starting a new “Parenting boys” class on Thursday night at 6P. M.
Director, Collene Myers would love to speak to your church, organization, or group. Hosting a baby shower in honor of The Refuge is also an opportunity for you to be a part of this great community service to our future babies.
