<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Friends and Family of AAHS,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">What an Autumn it's turning into! Here at AAHS we have already provided shelter, housing, employment services and financial education to over 400 men, women and children this year. We've a packed shelter, we're supporting families all over town getting back on their feet in apartments, we've been holding financial literacy workshops and classes and one on one counseling, providing employment assistance - it's been busy down on Barber Street, to say the least. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">We can't do it without our community, without your support. We're gearing up for our annual fundraiser, Harvest for the Homeless, and kicked it off last month with a fantastic (and free) magic show! The show marked the start of our countdown to the <a href="http://helpathenshomeless.org/home/culinary-catchall-raffle">Culinary Catchall Raffle</a> - win 52 gift certificates to local restaurants and dine out free for a year! Thanks so much to Mr. Kevin O'Neil (not only the most fun magician in town but also our Board Chair Extraordinaire) for putting together such a great show, and thanks to Ted's Most Best for hosting us. Most of all - thank you to everyone who came out to laugh and have a great time - it was a packed patio and we could hardly keep up with raffle sales! What a great start.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Next up in our Harvest celebration is <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/340282352813092/?fref=ts">Casktopia</a> at Terrapin Brewery! What could be better than an Autumn day outside with good friends, good beer and a good cause? Bring your friends, have some laughs and VOTE FOR THE AAHS BREW! If we're elected crowd favorite we have a chance to win money that will go directly into programming for the kiddos at the shelter. And in that spirit, we picked some of their favorite flavors to add to the brew - pumpkin and cinnamon and vanilla (and then a little adult spice) - a true harvest celebration! And don't worry - you can get your Culinary Catchall raffle tickets at the event. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Finally, our <a href="http://helpathenshomeless.org/home/harvest-for-the-homeless" id="">Harvest party</a> itself is <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_544327713" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Friday, November 14th</span></span> - mark your calendars now! It promises to be even more fun than last year, with the Classic City Swing Band, dancing, cocktails, wine tastings, food, auction, raffle drawing - - it's going to be a great night and we sure hope to see you there. All proceeds, of course, go directly into our programming. An evening of fun to support positive change in your community? Hard to top.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Thank you so much, Athens, for supporting our work. You make a difference.</span></div>

Dear friends and family of AAHS, <div>
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
Wow - what a summer we're having here at the shelter and in all of our programs! Halfway through the year and we've already provided services to over 500 individuals in Athens Clarke County! AAHS is so much more than a shelter - our programs attack poverty from all angles, and all of our services work hard to stabilize at-risk families.</div>
<div class="im" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Our All My Money financial literacy program has really taken flight! In the first year, we've provided 45 families with individualized financial education. Not only that, in partnership with <a href="http://actionministries.net/locations/athens/" target="_blank">Action Ministries</a> and<a href="http://www.athensark.org/" target="_blank">The ARK</a>, we've provided group money management classes and general financial information sessions to well over 200 individuals! Collaboration is truly a powerful tool in creating positive change in our community. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>

Meanwhile, our Going Home program has supported 40 families so far this year in securing safe and stable housing. We kicked off a new donation program of Going Home Kits - please take a moment to watch <a href="http://helpathenshomeless.org/home/going-home-kits" target="_blank">this video</a>. Our employment program, JobTREC, served over 100 people this year despite taking a funding hit. And last but certainly not least - our Almost Home shelter program has a full house right now, with moms bustling to work and school, and newborns to teenagers in day camp and day care. Life is BUSY here at AAHS! Despite living in shelter, our kiddos get to have a healthy summertime experience, thanks to grants from partners like The <a href="http://nancytravis.org/" target="_blank">Nancy Travis Childcare Project</a>, and local businesses like <a href="http://www.porterhouseathens.com/" target="_blank">Porterhouse Grill</a> and <a href="http://fullcontacttrivia.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Full Contact Trivia</a> for making our trivia fundraiser possible. Thank you, Athens. </div>

<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
Most recently we worked with <a href="http://www.ihnathens.org/" target="_blank">Interfaith Hospitality Network</a> to provide a mutual client with new dentures. With a healthy mouth and new-found self confidence, this client will be ready to tackle the work world! Again, collaboration is a powerful tool and we at AAHS are proud of all of our partnerships.</div>

One final shout out: our very own <a href="http://classiccityrollergirls.com/" target="_blank">Classic City Rollergirls</a> are donating proceeds from their bout on July 18th to AAHS! Please come out and cheer on our girls, and know that your ticket price is helping your community. What could be better? Lots of fun for a great cause! I look forward to seeing you there.</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As you might imagine, snow days at the shelter can be a bit (read a LOT) chaotic. Fourteen kiddos running about playing, shouting, and living? A frenzy to be sure. And a fun one, at that. Why so fun? Because our kids are warm and healthy and happy. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's a challenge to provide a nourishing and enriching environment in a transitional, group living situation. Our families come to us at a rocky point in their lives - possibly the most rocky yet. One part of our job is to provide a sense of safety and stability, from which they can relaunch into independence. All of our programming at AAHS, from the shelter to our financial literacy counseling to our rapid rehousing to our employment progr</span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">am, is designed to launch clients into sustained independence.</span></div>

Today I've been here at the shelter during the snow storm. The kids have toys to play with, hats and gloves to brave the snow in, and warm food in their bellies. They've ransacked the play area and have grins on their faces. Our 14 year old teenager is curled on the couch watching a movie while her mom sits next to her, working on a paper for her BA degree. Early this morning in the bitter cold I helped a different mom scrape her car so that she could get to work despite the ice and snow. Just a few moments ago I heard another mom mutter to herself as she navigated her third online job application of the afternoon. The shelter smells like bacon and kids... like a home? I think so. Like a safe environment from which one can tackle challenges and successfully reboot. </div>

Wow what a summer and what a year it’s been! Our shelter is packed, our employment program is full, our new Going Home program already has a wait list <i>and</i> we’ve just launched a brand new program on Financial Literacy! We’ve been quite busy over here, and it shows. In the past year we have provided services to roughly 400 people, including 54 families with 116 children. While the need remains great, we feel good about providing programming that supports these families in becoming independent. </div>

AAHS is growing. As we grow, so does our positive impact on the community. Please take a moment to check out our income and expense percentages below. Almost 40% of our budget is dependent on community donations. And importantly – over 75% of our output goes directly into client services. When you contribute, you are a direct part of our community impact.</div>

Speaking of which, we are gearing up for our 10<sup>th</sup> annual Harvest for the Homeless fundraiser this November! It promises to be the most fun yet – we will be celebrating at the beautiful new Atrium in the Classic Center, with the Athens Swing Band. As always we’ll have a wonderfully eclectic silent auction and the best raffle in Athens – win 52 gift certificates to local restaurants and dine out weekly for an entire year! What could be better in a town with our dining scene?</div>

As you know, Trivia night was a HUGE success. We were blown away by your response. Our kids can now stay in summer camp all summer while their moms continue working and going to school. Amazing. We love being a part of the Athens community! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!</i> </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Summer months are always the trickiest here at AAHS. With college students heading home, we are left with lots of volunteer opportunities that need to be filled. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> In the month of July, we need dinner volunteers for every Friday, and several Saturdays, Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimGvD9AVR3FFJ_it-Y8VJy5NZIJlZs5qdIeIv1IelfiYf4TVX9UlslFUanHKWrace6IeV9NY_cVWd1bZF9_7kBaMx3jWbgNvcznggJAiR5D67vvx-n0ngM8mqX7bJTE5JdF1jmL7Vmi1g/s1600/Maurice's.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimGvD9AVR3FFJ_it-Y8VJy5NZIJlZs5qdIeIv1IelfiYf4TVX9UlslFUanHKWrace6IeV9NY_cVWd1bZF9_7kBaMx3jWbgNvcznggJAiR5D67vvx-n0ngM8mqX7bJTE5JdF1jmL7Vmi1g/s200/Maurice's.JPG" width="200" /></a><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We also understand that summer months can be such a busy time for everyone. If you don’t have time to prepare dinner for our residents, there are still several ways you can help. Our biggest need here at the shelter is diapers! We have quite a few little ones here that go through diapers quickly! Sizes 3, 4, and 5 would be tremendously helpful. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Speaking of diapers, <b><i><u>Maurice’s at Georgia Square Mall</u></i></b> is hosting a Diaper and Deodorant drive for us. If you bring your donation of diapers or deodorant you receive a coupon for <span style="font-size: large;">20% off your purchase!</span> Now, that’s a deal! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> <u>Other Items on our Wish List include:</u> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Trash Bags</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">High Efficiency Laundry Detergent </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Women’s Deodorant </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> As always, thank you for being such a big part of the work we do here at AAHS.

Another school year has come to an end for our kiddos here at AAHS. What a year it has been! Summer is an exciting time for our young residents. SWIMMING! NO HOMEWORK! CAMP! We love to see the sweet smiles on their faces that accompany summertime adventures.<br />
<br />
If our kids are in camp, then our moms stay in school and at work. Help us give our kids the best summer ever by playing Trivia with us on June 11th!</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 18pt;"><span style="color: blue;"><strong><u>TRIVIA TEAM BATTLE 2013!!!</u></strong></span></span></div>
<div>
<br />
Here is how you can get involved:<br />
<br />
STEP 1: Build a team of 4-8 people.</div>
<ul>
<li>It can be office teams, organizational teams, neighborhood teams, or just a group of your family and friends</li>
</ul>
<div>
STEP 2: Register Your Team</div>
<ul>
<li>Registration is $75 per team. Visit<a href="http://www.helpathenshomeless.org/">www.HelpAthensHomeless.org</a> or call (706)354-0423 to register.</li>
</ul>
<div>
STEP 3: Show up to the Beechwood Buffalo’s on June 11<sup>th</sup> by 7</div>
<ul>
<li>Trivia will be held in the large back room at Buffalo’s. Come early at 6 for dinner (on your own) and prepare for the battle of your life!</li>
</ul>
<div>
STEP 4: BATTLE!!!!!</div>
<ul>
<li>This what you are fighting for: <strong>1<sup>st</sup> Prize - $350; </strong><strong style="font-size: 10pt;">2<sup>nd</sup> Prize - $150; 3<sup>rd</sup> Prize -</strong><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> </span><strong style="font-size: 10pt;">$75</strong></li>
</ul>
<div>
That’s all it takes; four easy (and fun) steps to help 15 young kids stay in daycare/camp for the summer. There is nothing better than that. As always, we here at AAHS, are overwhelmingly thankful for any and all help you can give us and our residents.</div>

Thanos Skouteris, a senior member of Alpha Kappa Psi, talks with a child while he eats at Athens Area Homeless Shelter in Athens, Ga., Thu., Nov. 15, 2012. (AJ Reynolds/Staff)</div>
<br />About 10 members of the University of Georgia business fraternity Alpha Kappa Psi carved out time from their schedules last week to give a gift that in many ways is the most basic for humans: the gift of sustenance.<br /><br />They, like dozens of others will and have throughout the holidays, went to the Athens Area Homeless Shelter to prepare a meal for the mothers and children there who needed to take up residence as a respite from hard times.</div>
<div class="content" id="story-body" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 20px; margin: 10px 0px 20px; orphans: 2; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">

“Me and the whole fraternity believe that it is good to give back, especially to the community in which you live,” said the co-ed organization’s community service chair, Elise Diehl.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

In fact, if you wanted to spend a night or two helping to prepare food or baby-sit, they ask that you keep an eye on the post-holiday season.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Dinnertime volunteer opportunities there already are filled for November and December, but January and February show more holes than not. And not having volunteers, shelter Director Katie Smith said, makes it harder for the residents to get dinner.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“We still have to feed our residents every day of the year, regardless of if we have volunteers,” she said.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The shelter usually has about six mothers and 15 children living there who otherwise would be homeless, Smith said, and they need dinner every day of the year. It is particularly hard to find people to prepare dinner for the residents in January and early summer, as many UGA students have emptied out of Athens by then, Smith said.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“There’s a lot of places that have a holiday blitz, so we just want to ask that people keep us in mind year-round,” Smith said.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://onlineathens.com/sites/default/files/11735281.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://onlineathens.com/sites/default/files/11735281.jpg" width="282" /></a></div>

Not to say that the shelter doesn’t need any help between November and the New Year.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
It is entering into its third year of a holiday donation drive, where it asks for gift cards instead of toys and other presents, which allows the mothers to buy their family Christmas presents, Smith said.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“It empowers them to do their own Christmas shopping for their families,” she said.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Gift cards to Walmart and Target are in the highest demand, Smith said.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The shelter also is in need of general supplies — toiletry items, such as shampoo and toothpaste, high-efficiency laundry detergent, diapers and the like. Professional clothes and clothes that can be worn to job interviews are also in demand, Smith said.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

Some volunteers will baby-sit while mothers take classes or go to home meetings, building bonds with the children along the way. Others will prepare the food and enjoy it with the families, or merely hang back and clean up. Still more will share special skills in parenting or cooking or professional life with the mothers in classes.</div>

“Our volunteer opportunities can really be anything the groups can want it to be,” Smith said.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

AAHS is asking for donations of gift cards that
will allow our residents to buy personalized gifts for their kids from
traditional superstores (e.g., Wal-Mart, Target).<br />
<br />We welcome all gift cards from $5, $10, $100 or more. If you would
like to give, please make your donations by December 14th so that we can
have enough time to organize our shopping trip. We would love to
receive gift cards, but if you would rather donate cash or check, we
will buy the gift cards with the money you give us. You can come by the
shelter any time (directions below) to drop off your donations any
weekday from 10AM to 6PM. Alternatively, you can make your donation
with a credit or debit card on our website (<a href="http://www.helpathenshomeless.org/" target="_blank">www.helpathenshomeless.org</a>) by clicking on "Give" and following the instructions.<br />

Dear Friends and Family of AAHS, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On behalf of the Board, the staff, the women and children who live at our shelter,<br />
and the families that we serve through our programming --<br />
thank you so very much for the overwhelming support that you showed for this year’s <strong>Harvest for the Homeless!<br />
