RAIHN
has officially hired the Network Director! We
will be announcing this at a special "Open
House" for all the Social Service Admitting
Agencies on April 7th. RAIHN has also procured
the passenger bus for the guests as well as the
beds the guests will be using at the thirteen
hosting congregations. A major training program
from national IHN is planned for March 16 (for
Bethel CF and 3rd Presby and all their volunteers).
There will also be a all-hands training session
for all the hosting and supporting coordinators
(two-three per congregation) on March 17th. |
January
2004,
RAIHN has secured
a Day Center facility. We will be using a nice
house at 34 Meigs Street as our Day Center. At
the Day Center, the guests will use this site
as their "launch pad" for career &
housing support and counseling as well as their
central "home" for receiving mail, school
buss pick-up & drop-off. There will be a "grand
opening" of the Day Center on April 20th
for all the volunteers and interested people from
the various congregations |

June 2003,
We've added another host faith community! We're
more than 50% of the way to having enough hosting
faith communities to start the RAIHN! Go to the
"hosts"
page to see all the faithful people.
May 2003,
At this month's RAIHN general meeting on May
8th, Libby Krautsak is our special guest speaker.
Libby is the Executive Director of the Buffalo NY
Interfaith Hospitality Network. That organization
has been an active IHN group for over six (6) years!
So, Libby will have lots to share with us as we
grow the RAIHN network. See the calendar
for details.
The meeting is at 7pm at New Life Presbyterian Church
(Monroe Avenue & Rosedale; East on Monroe after
the I-490 intersection). For more information, contact

This month, our web site goes "live".
We also have two e-mail lists which will be used
for general mailings to the RAIHN community as well
as to the Board of Directors. If you wish to be
added to the general mailing list, please send an
e-mail to the webmaster.
