Staff change is uncommon at TH, but it does happen.  In July 2008, we bid farewell to Elizabeth Kuhlman.  Jessica Williams, who had been our practicum student from OU's School of Social Work is our new Recovery Coordinator.

That change was followed at the end of October with Jeanene Davidson's retirement.  Jeanene had been a huge part of our agency's success for over 20 years and though we miss her, we wish her well in her retirement.

Our newest staff member is Robbie Tatom, BSW.  Robbie joined our staff as a Recovery Coordinator in November 2008.

Confirmed Headliner for JBJ'08 is Robin Grant, with All Stars Jacob Lynn and Tara Henry.  Along with these Stars, we are looking for other talented performers to join this year's line up.  Two showcases are being offered this year - Rising Star Showcase beginning at 5:30 pm and All Star Showcase begins at 7:30 pm - Sooner Theatre, Norman, OK - June 14, 2008.  For more information on the Audition process and Audition forms, go to Audition form'08.

After a couple of years of not having a JBJ t-shirt, we developed a design for this year's logo that many requested be turned into a t-shirt.  So, based on the request of many - below is the design that will go on the JBJ'08 t-shirt.  The shirt will be black with this logo:

To get a JBJ'08 t-shirt, call Bonnie Dunn at 405-360-7926 or e-mail transitionhouse@coxinet.net.

Transition House, Inc., has been fortunate to have several new community volunteers join our Board of Directors.  New members include Christina Adcox, Susan Gregory, Nadine Nunez, LSW, and Tom Cooper.  We also welcome Jennifer Walters who has joined our Advisory Council.  Thanks to these and all of our Board volunteers for your support of Transition House, Inc. 

Most recently we received the news that a member of our Advisory Council, Larry Lee, passed away.  Larry and his wife June have been involved in Transition House, Inc., for years.  June was actually one of the people who helped develop the agency.  We are sad to hear about Larry's passing, but we celebrate his life and all that he did to help so many people!

I also wish to acknowledge the passing of another former Board member - Marge Farwell.  Marge passed away a couple of years ago, but during this time of reflection, I realize that I was remise in not recognizing the work of Marge and her devotion and dedication to our agency as a member of our Board and volunteer.  

Work has begun on June Bug Jam 2008.  Click on June Bug Jam 2008 for the most up to date information on this year's show.

After a short break from the meetings, the DTR meetings at the Transition House, Inc., Drop-In Center have resumed.  Meetings are held on Wednesday evening at 5:30 pm at 700 Asp, Ste. 4.

For more information, go to DTR Meetings.

Below is an excerpt from an article I wrote about Recovery.  

So you think it’s only those poor unfortunates who have an “official” diagnosis of mental illness are the ones who need to be concerned about their mental well being?  During these times when phrases like “24/7” and “Multi-tasking” are a common part of our everyday language, when we can’t seem to go anyplace without seeing people glued to their cell phone and/or computer, when our relationships are now best established on MySpace rather than in person - do you think we live in a society that encourages mental wellness – let alone recovery?  We want to believe the concepts of recovery are for addicts only, yet I think as a society we could all benefit from a good dose of recovery.

  Former JBJ Star - Tara Henry - is proud to announce the release of her first CD.  

Tara's link to CD Baby is http://cdbaby.com/cd/tarahenry. You can also go to http://www.digstation.com and http://www.iTunes.com to download songs.  If you would like to contact Tara directly, e-mail at trhenry@cox.net to order a CD directly from her.

We welcome Bridget Pekah's return to our Board of Directors and her return to her former position as President of our Board of Directors.

Other Board changes include Sophia Morren's completion of her six year term on the Board.  Sophia has served in many capacities on the Board - most recently as Board President.  A huge thanks to Sophia for her many gifts to our agency.  Sophia will remain connected with our agency as an Advisory Council member.

Leah Wall also moved from the Board to Advisory Council.  Leah also served as Board President and we are very grateful to her for her many contributions to Transition House, Inc.

Jessica Bartee is our FY'08 OU School of Social Work practicum student for the Fall 2007 and Spring 2008 semesters.  Jessica has been a wonderful addition to our team and we are very glad she selected Transition House, Inc., as her practicum site!

Day of Caring volunteers put new flooring in our Drop-In Center.  For details click on Day of Caring '07

The DTR meetings that were being held in the Drop-In Center are undergoing a transition.  Meeting frequency, etc., is being examined.  Once there is a new schedule, the website will be updated with the information.  For more information, call 360-7926. 

Thanks to the many wonderful people who made JBJ '07 our most successful fund raiser!  We still have $700  pending from pledges, but to date we have received $11,697 - net earning of $10,197.  The list of who needs to be thanked is too long, but please know that we appreciate all who gave so much of themselves to make this an incredible show - and more importantly a very successful fund raiser that allows our agency to continue the work we do with our clients.  

Rather than talking about advancing the agency's Serenity Project, the decision was made to make this year's agency wide retreat into an action based activity.  Board members, staff, volunteers, and clients worked side by side to paint the Drop-In Center.  Thanks to all who worked so hard on this project - and special thanks to John Koons for the pizza treat after the work was done!

Farewell to 2006

Once again, clients were recognized for another outstanding float in the Norman Holiday Parade.   Below are some photos from the event...

Conflicts with her work schedule caused Bridget Pekah to step down as Board President, so Leah Wall Pollan has moved into the role as President of the Transition House, Inc., Board of Directors.   Leah is very excited about her new role with our agency and welcome her energy, ideas, and leadership!

Early in November 2006, the main computer at our office crashed.  The good news - the majority of data on the computer was retrieved.  The bad news, our website was unable to be updated during the down time.  We're up and running with a new system so you can expect more routine updates to our on-line newsletter again.

The Transition House, Inc., welcomes our newest Board member - James Heath.  James works for the City of Norman doing housing rehab.  We welcome his energy and willingness to help whenever possible.  Welcome James!

Recovery can be lots of hard work, and as the old saying goes - all work and no play....

...can make a person old before their time!

So, Halloween marks the beginning of preparation for Holiday Season at our agency.  Check out these party pic's from Halloween 06 at TH...

We don't say it enough, but our Board is the backbone of our agency and we appreciate all that each volunteer gives to Transition House, Inc.  Thank you to current and past Transition House, Inc., Board members!

During 2006, 3 of our Past Board Presidents have completed their 6 year terms on our Board.  In January 2006, Earl Whitman completed his second set of 6 years on our Board.  In June, John Koons completed his 6 year term.  John has already told us he'll be returning in June of 2007.  And our most recent retiring Board member is Jennifer Wilson-Burns.  All three of these very special Board members have served in a variety of leadership roles on the Board including as President of the Board.  Each has also played critical roles in past June Bug Jam shows.  Thanks to each of these wonderfully caring people for their continuing support and dedication to Transition House, Inc.

Thanks Earl, Jennifer and John - each of you helped to shape our agency.  Your many and diverse contributions will always be an important part of Transition House, Inc.!

After a thorough search, we our proud to announce that Elizabeth Kuhlman will begin as Transition House, Inc.'s new Recovery Coordinator.  Elizabeth will join our agency officially on August 1, 2005.

Elizabeth's job qualifications include a BA in Psychology from University of Texas at Richardson, Texas plus many years of experience with a family member who has a mental health and substance abuse problem.  This life experience, her very healthy attitude towards recovery, her desire to work in this setting, plus her degree made Elizabeth our choice for the position.

Todd Balcom, MT-BC had been a part of the Transition House, Inc., staff since July 2001 and in July 2005, Todd decided it was time for him to focus his energy and attention on the business he began prior to his work at Transition House, Inc.  Todd has been doing contract work locally and in the region as a music therapist and we wish him well and continued success.  To find out more about Todd and his music therapy, go to www.rhythmevents.com.

Makeovers Make a Difference...

Just ask Patricia, she was feeling down and needed a boost, so Katie stepped in and helped to brighten her day.  

From bushy brows that were dragging her down...

... to the hard work...no one ever said beauty didn't come without a little pain...

... to the outcome - in the end, the only thing Patricia was screaming about was how excited she was about the new look she had because Katie took the time to help her with her self-esteem!

Patricia is very proud of her new look and wanted the whole world to see how beautiful she is!
