Program Notes

Thanks to Frito Lay employees who came last week to paint our offices for us! The paint looks great, but now the floors look bad, isn't that always the way? If anyone has a connection for tile or wood laminate, we would love to hear about it. The areas that are in need are our front office and volunteer room and together they are just under 1,000 square feet. Can you help? Call or email Lynne Sipiora at (972) 542-5302 ext 229 or lynnesipiora@thesamaritaninn.org.

Metabolic Research Center, now open in McKinney and a weight loss center, urges their clients who are seeking to lose weight to bring in their canned goods, which they will then donate to The Samaritan Inn.

Thanks to Crest Leasing who recently donated enough blankets for every bed in our facility-given the temperatures, the timing could not have been better!

We have a variety of volunteer openings for the position of Office Host- this position is responsible for our front office and will answer phones and greet visitors and volunteers to our program. Four hour shifts from 7am until 9pm, 7 days a week are available. Interested? Please email Cheryl Spofford at cspofford@thesamaritaninn.org or call (972) 542-5302 ext 228.

Imagine how great you would look driving a 2009 Mazda Miata convertible? Well now is your chance to win one. Thanks to our good friends at Eldorado Motors in McKinney we are raffling off this beautiful car to one lucky winner, who's name will be drawn at our October gala. Tickets are $100.00. Please call or email Molly Castillo for more information or to purchase a ticket (972) 542-5302 ext 232 or mcastillo@thesamaritaninn.org.
