  Hello Friend of Help Now!,

 MARK YOUR CALENDAR: Monday, August 16, 5:30 p.m.

You are invited to a reception to say "thank you" to retiring Board member David Gilmour and to view Help Now!'s new video.  Dr. Gilmour, who is also a Jackson County Commissioner and local physician, has served on Help Now!'s Board of Directors since HN's founding in 2004, including as Board president.  The video is 10 minutes long and features three Help Now! clients describing, in their own words, the crises they each faced.

Please join us in the large conference room on the 2nd floor of the historic Woolworth Building--33 N. Central Avenue in Medford.  Refreshments will be served.  Please RSVP at 732-1911 with the number in your party if you plan to attend.
