Happy New Year to all!
We had a very successful fundraiser for our Emergency Needs Fund. 55 volunteers helped us fill the coffers at our table at City Market from the day after Thanksgiving until Christmas Eve. We raised $11,125.00 at City Market, and a little more than that through private donations. When you add in a grant we will most likely receive later this year, we have exceeded our goal of $25,000! See the thank you ad we placed in the Moab Sun News, the Ad-Vertiser, and the Times-Independent.

In addition to raising funds for our emergency fund, we were able to get in some trail work, volunteer some at the recycle center, deal with a very large assist involving over a dozen people, walk along the parkway, and, best of all, get great help from Girl Scout Troop "Daisy Troop #572". We all got together on Saturday the 5th - 6 girl scouts, four parents, and siblings of the scouts. We split up into three groups and walked different areas of the parkway looking for trash and recycling. Because of the cold weather and snow, we didn't find as much as we would find in the warmer weather, but we did find trash and recycling on all sections we walked. The troop decided that they wanted to do the same section again when the weather is warmer and note the difference. Thanks Girls!!!
Homeless News The Point in Time (PIT) count is coming up. This is a nationwide effort to count homeless across the USA. Moab Solutions works on looking for the unsheltered homeless. We have had a cold and snowy winter, which is hard on the aging homeless population. A couple of the guys are in jail for a few months, which may just save their lives. We are hoping to find a more positive alternative. Stay tuned!

The man. Two weeks before he died. At Ken's Lake (late November of 2013).
