The Shelter House Interim Overflow Project is closing its last week before March 31st. We will need to have another year of Overflow as the new Shelter will not be done in time. Plans are pending for this next winter as Christine Mullen and Meg Kiekhaefer will be unable to coordinate. Please send thanks to Christine Mullen at 337-5716 (christine.mullen@mchsi.com ) for her dedication and many hours of volunteer coordination for the past five winters.
