Working for the Parent Weekend

Tomorrow is one of Shelterwood's "All Property Serve Days."  The weather is calling for 70-something so the experience should be reasonable.  Next weekend we will be hosting our Girls Family Weekly and it's time to spruce things up for our wonderful families.  Lots of good times and memories surround these famous work days dating back to Denver.  During the month of October we will be hosting both family weekend experiences.  The Guys will be at the end of the month.

Last Friday we concluded the second of our two day Shelterwood spiritual retreats for our staff.  It was an amazing time of professional development, fellowship, personal growth and spiritual healing.  Over 30 staff members rotated through one of the two events.  We hope to continue to develop the retreat process in order to reach out to all departments including teachers, counselors, and other support staff.

Things continue to progress at Shelterwood.  Last weekend our board of Directors were in town for a planned meeting.  According to Jim Subers, our CEO, the meeting went well and our business leaders are encouraged and pleased with life, growth and business at Shelterwood.  We currently stand at 30 boys and 26 girl residents along with 13 big brothers and 11 big sisters.  We have come a long ways with much work to do and your prayers and support have made the difference!
