Ellen,

Our Harmon Avenue Wellness Center is open and clientele is slowly finding us adjacent to Carrie’s Café.  We do have openings for clients and would like to make sure that the people and agencies in your list-serve are aware of the clinic.  We work primarily with those individuals over the age of 60 and accept and appreciate donations for the services.

Thanks,

Connie

Pregnant Women & Families

Here is the link to it.  There have been some changes since the last version so please use this one instead of the Aug 2009 version.
 
Also, please note the idea behind this list.  It was designed to be used when speaking to someone about services, highlighting the programs that would be most useful to a particular client.  It is not as effective when just given out as a handout with no explanation.
