PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Service Above Self
Many times during Saturday's work day at our Drake House apartment, I heard people talking about their own homes needing some painting or deep cleaning. Thank you to all who came to help and for a few hours on a Saturday morning lived our motto of Service Above Self. Hearing the story of how this apartment helped a family that was headed to homelessness get back on their feet and the mom is now about to start her residency to become a doctor certainly makes the hard work worthwhile.
