Today (11/5) things came together even more. Jacqui, Wendy and I met at our new office and got updated. Wendy will be setting up our desk and organizing us so we are prepared to do business. Wendy and Jeri both worked some on the lunch event we have next week. Jacqui even met with two families who had scheduled their appointments before the fire. It was good to do a few things that felt normal.

Helen surprised us by stopping by with a donation of office supplies from WSU’s psychology clinic/dept. She plans on coming back with a few more things we need. We also recorded donations from Sara-Mom and Harry Hynes Hospice. They donated supplies for our groups. Of course, we had to make a trip back to the office to post a sign letting people know the location of our temporary office (Dunne Equities, Building 1100) and retrieve a few items.

Progress was made on the insurance front too. Companies were contacted about providing estimates for clean-up (restoration and debris removal.) This is the first step in the process, so I guess you could say we are on our way!

We continue to get phone calls, mail and email. Thank you to the many people who are providing this support. It’s needed and appreciated. If you’d like to help in our efforts, let us know 263-3335 or threetrees@threetrees.org. Donations are being accepted at any Intrust bank locations, too.

You can also share comments on the blog, which is a great way to communicate with us and also others who care about this wonderful agency. I hope to post photo’s there by the end of the week.
