September 5, 2003 - Haywood County
Outreach Meeting:
We opened the meeting by explaining why we were there. We have
a serious problem. Only two months into the new year we have
already invested $6000 in Haywood County and the waiting list
is growing. Home modifications for a person with a disability
who cannot enter or exit their home addresses not only convenience
and independence, but also safety issues.
We told those attending we saw two possible solutions:
1. Finding other agencies we could refer these requests to, or
2. Finding funds so we could do the job.
No one at the meeting knew of another agency who could provide
home modifications to people with disabilities in Haywood County.
When we went to plan 2, the committe suggested many fundraising
ideas such as yard sales, bake sales and road blocks. It was
agreed to meeting on the first Friday of each moth to plan the
events which will begin following the United Way campaign that
will end on November 26.
October 3, 2003 (12 Noon)
at Union Planters Bank in Brownsville.
The committee is planning a Road Block
on Friday, December 5 using at least 8 volunteers. On Christmas
Parade Day December 6, a Bake Sale at Walmart.

MEETING: November 13, 2003 (12 Noon) at Union Planters Bank in
