Time is Winding Down!!!

I now have some facts about the moving out of residents in Turner Courts. I listened in on a meeting yesterday that the manager had with the elderly residents of Turner Courts. They will be the first ones to leave. I am not sure when but she told them that they need to have in mind where they want to go. Some of them don't want to leave but, the reality is they are gonna have too whether they do or not. They are definitely going to tear them down. What I want to know is the deadline for all they residents to be gone. I also noticed how they are really coming along with Bexar street. One side is already finished, and now they are working on the other side. Soon it will be complete for the new Bexar street condos or apartments, which ever one they will be.

Another thing I think DHA should do is let all the residents know that when they do rebuild it is not going to be so easy to come back. Whatever they decide, I wish they would hurry up! I am tired of hearing he said she said stuff!!!!!!!!!!!! I am focused on our program but I do wonder, with the residents leaving will we have time to finish what we started!! Never the less, I am delighted to have met and got to know some people here and it was a pleasure to have met some our our city officials. If it was not for Janet's beliefs and determination to get me involved with the community, I may have never got to meet these good people. Thanks! Janet. I am going to miss each and everyone of them. Hopefully in the near future we will cross paths!!!!

Determination!!

I wanted to take some time to tell everyone about how the Educational Outreach Center has been a great investment to the community and surrounding areas. Lori Cullom who is a resident of Turner Courts and cook for Central Dallas Ministries. She has shown great determination in fulfilling her desire to work in the Medical field. She come at least 3 times a week to the EOC and search for a job in her field. Little did she know that by putting in her application on line faithfully would soon pay off, and it did. Sad! to say that she will be leaving us, I am glad that she has found a new job. The one thing that I like is that she did not have to ride the bus to the MLK Center and use their computer lab, she did it right in her own community. Another story I have is, on yesterday, my husband was telling me that his cousin that I referred to a job opening, (which he got the position), referred two other gentlemen,(who also got a position). I was like what! and then my husband said you need to put this on your blog, I was stunned that he still remembers that I blog. How great is this! I tell you! If things keep going the way that they are, I will be able to try to write my own book! Like one of my Mentors!!!!!
