ANNOUNCEMENTS

On  11/16/11 Beverly Parker, Christi Collins and I received a $2000.00 donation from Senator Harry Shiver, at his office up in Bay Minette.

 

  Also on  11/10/11 we held our very first yard sale and we raised $249.87. I would like to thank Kristina Kapp and Christi Collins for their hard work at the yard sale.

  I hope everyone had a safe and wonderful holiday. I’m looking forward to the year, due to the fact that some things are being worked on to help Nami Baldwin County grow. The more information we get out about mental illness, the more we can help the public understand.

  We have moved the Bay Minette  support  group meeting to the Bay Minette Day Treatment Program  and Christi, Beverly, Rebecca are working on a time for the meeting.

  I would like to welcome the Certified Peer Specialist that we have in Baldwin County.

  As always I would like to thank everyone for their hard work and everything that they do, because without everyone no  one could do it alone.  

 

James Hamilton
