"For the last two years we've kept families in during the day with small children, but now we'll keep everybody in during the day -- but not just to watch TV and drink coffee," she said. "They'll have to be working on a program; whether it's looking for work, using a computer to do a resume, looking for an apartment or attending one of the program sessions, so if you're in for programming, you're in for the day." - Shelter Executive Director Betty Palmer
"Board chairman Kevin Joseph read remarks from City Manager Michael Roy, who was out of town. Joseph also introduced campaign chairman Doug Kutchin, founder of the Sheridan Corp., which built the shelter."
"The cost of the two-story building -- 8,000 square feet on the ground floor and 8,000 square feet to be finished upstairs -- so far has come to $2.7 million."
"We're an interfaith shelter connected to Maine State Housing -- we're a community shelter, not a city shelter -- a private non-profit," Palmer said."
"In her welcome to the assembly Monday under a cloudless, blue sky, Susan Reisert, vice chairwoman of the Rebuilding Lives Campaign, said the Waterville community is reaching out to people in need, offering dignity, respect and hope [and programming?] for everyone."
