At the end of day, this wonderful group of OG&E volunteers (plus one OG&E employee's husband),
Elizabeth new office.jpg (856883 bytes) created a new office space for Elizabeth, our Recovery Coordinator, shredded old records, worked on our database and computers, and cleaned at our four apartments.  The dedication and hard work of this group saved our agency well over one thousand dollars in labor hours, and lifted the spirits of our clients and staff.
From all of us at Transition House, Inc. to our Day of Caring 2006 Volunteers...

But wait, there's more.  Because the construction job could not be completed in one day, a couple of our volunteers will be back to finish the texture and trim work.  Now that's dedication!
