Volunteer Luncheon 2010
On Tuesday May 4th we gathered together with the best volunteers an organization can have. We had about 70 volunteers, staff and board members in attendance. We had the pleasure of having Shannon Jones from Randy Jones Chevrolet present. The board of directors started off the fun by giving a plaque of gratitude to Shannon Jones who gave us space for the 2009 Christmas Program.
A second plaque appeared and surprised Christine. The board also had a gift for her. Christine – our fearless Executive Director- has been with us for 20 YEARS. She has been dedicated and given so much service to the Vina Moses and Fish programs.
After we completely embarrassed Christine caused her to become speechless, she presented everyone with a gift and recognized each of the volunteers with a certificate for their service in 2009. Door prizes were also part of the fun.
Our volunteer of the year was recognized for her service in the Fish program. Barb Schlep began working with Fish about 3 years ago. She was recruited by another dedicated volunteer and now she is a call taker for Fish as well as the scheduler for all of our call takers. She loves to volunteer with Fish and takes lots of shifts. Barb says she does it because she “has the time and enjoys it.” One of her favorite parts of the job is when a call comes in that Fish is unable to help. You see, Barb doesn’t stop there; she searches for a way to help the client. She says she “likes the detective part of it.” She is our own Nancy Drew!
We are so appreciative of all our volunteers that serve at Fish and Vina Moses. Thank you all for your service – we cannot do it without you!

Donations of clean, usable goods are needed at The Vina Moses Center.
Center hours
Center is open to accept donations Monday through Friday 9 am to 3 pm. There is a drop box available for after hours. Please do not put loose items in the drop box. Put donations in plastic bags and tie tops to prevent items from being soiled.
Acceptable donations include: Children’s clothes, shoes, toys, baby clothes, items & baby furniture, men’s work clothes and boots, raingear, sleeping bags and blankets, sheets, towels, washcloths, women’s clothes and personal items, kitchen items, dishes, pots & pans, utensils and miscellaneous household items.
All donations are tax deductible.
Accidental Donations: More often than you might imagine, a donor will call us to retrieve an item accidentally donated! We have such a variety of items donated we have no way of identifying those items we weren’t meant to receive. Often bags are sorted, put out in the Center and given away within a few minutes of being dropped off. Our success rate of finding these accidental donations is small. So please carefully check items before you donate!
Cash donations are always appreciated and needed at the Center, for such things as operating costs and special programs.
