June! Therapy dogs come each

week to love on our guests (and

staff), and we love them!

On Thursday June 27, we celebrated the 5th Anniversary of CP

Veteran’s Transi/onal Housing Program. Over the last 5 years,

we have had over 22 veterans take part in the housing pro-

gram! Pictured above is Vet House Case Manager Pa4y Quinn

with Harry and Tom. It was a great celebra/on of our vets!

(Le<) On June 22, CP

held its 2nd Annual Pic-

nic for staff and housing

guests at Rock Cut State

Park.

Jake and Carl of The Flossie Founda/on heard the

CP story one Sunday at church, came for a tour,

and surprised CP with a very generous check!

In June, CP was able

to purchase new

furniture from

Vaughn’s for our

Permanent Housing

Program. Not only

did they deliver the

new, they gracious-

ly took away the old

furniture. A very big

thanks to Vaughn’s!

In CP’s Rockton

House Program,

Brendon and Ron

both completed a

full month in their

new jobs, Elvin

started a new job

in his chosen field,

and Barry was pro-

moted to Manager

in Training! Con-

gratula/ons, guys!

We are proud of

your hard work and

know the best is

yet to come!
