John Maxwell in his book, 'Be All You Can Be,' discusses four PRs. The first PR is positive results. I am happy to report that Interfaith Outreach Home continues to produce positive results. Our clients start the journey homeless and with the assistance of dedicated staff and volunteers, end the
journey housed. The second PR is positive reactions. We continue to have positive reactions from people who want to help people help themselves.
Thank you for your continued compassion, empathy and support. The third PR is positive reinforcement. IOH continues to give residents positive
reinforcement. One of our families had a child who was failing in school before entering our program. Through the positive reinforcement of
therapists, tutors, the parents and staff, the child is now making above average and excellent grades. Maxwell writes: "Life is like a mirror; what
you show is what you see; what you put in is what you get out. When you encourage others, you will find that they will encourage you. Attitudes are
contagious." Again thanks for what you put into the lives of the families of IOH, and your giving attitude is contagious. We solicit you to continue
volunteering and giving toward the cause of helping people move closer to the American dream. The fourth PR is positive rejoicing. We rejoice that the families of IOH are turning their lives around. We rejoice that supporters move beyond themselves to think and act on behalf of the 'least of these.'
Thanks!
Frederick J. Zak,
Executive Director
