A Message from the Executive Director
VALENTINES DAY 2020

Greetings friends of Independence Plus!
Some things are supposed to be funny and some things are not. Such is the vandalism cloud that has been casting shadows on our agency. While vandalism has occurred off and on for many years, these past 8 months have been off the charts. Stealing gas, puncture of the gas tank itself, cut fuel lines, stolen batteries, and removing catalytic converters are the main damage that has been done to us. Cameras do catch some images but no clear facial shots. Police reports are submitted on a timely basis to hopefully beef up patrol during the night.
However, I am the eternal optimist. I try to see the good in everything. Independence Plus is looking for a nearby warehouse or fenced yard to park our vans. If anyone knows of space available, please call me and I will look into the location.
Our 7th Annual Bowl-a-thon will be on May 16th, 2020. You do NOT need to attend or bowl to be involved. You can collect pledges or donations for our cause. Highest donor wins a large award winning and signed fine art canvas print. You win the satisfaction of helping our great cause. Enrollment sheet is included with this newsletter. If you do attend, it is great exercise and so much fun. Just ask anybody who has attended one of our previous bowl-a-thons!
