Welcome to the Open Arms Blog!!

Welcome! We thought we'd give this 'connection through technology' thing a try. We're rushing right into the 21st century headlong. Well...not really. I'll probably have to find a middle schooler to help me manage this thing.

Here is the serious scoop. Those of us that work and volunteer with Open Arms know what a great organization it is. We have a ton of fun and do good work. We have lots of great stories to share, needs to telegraph and interesting information about whats happening on the front lines of our community. In short, a lot to chat about!

It is often the case that there are folks who want to keep in touch with us. Its especially hard for departing board members who feel such a part of the cause to feel a bit unplugged after they leave. We thought that if we started a simple blog our supporters and interested parties could log in occassionally to check in and see what's up, sort of like visiting home for a second.

We'll post all kinds of information here, events, little stories from our daily life, information about struggles or needs, heck we'll even answer questions if you have them. You'll hear a lot from me, Beth Meeks, the Executive Director, but the Program Managers, Communications Coordinator and maybe other celebrity guests will chime in here and there.

Hurry back...I can already think of a million fun things to tell you!
