Dear Donor,
Thank you for your continued support of The Sanctuary. The Board of Directors has been meeting monthly and sometimes bi monthly the last year trying to keep The Sanctuary afloat. We have managed to stay afloat the past year by reducing the length of the program to one year, severing expenses for treatment and residents’ allowances and curtailing the cost of supplies. We have not filled the position of Operations Manager. In spite of our consistent commitment, it has not been sufficient enough for operations to remain as they are. We have decided that operations must be suspended as of November 1, 2008 and The Sanctuary will shutdown thereafter in an orderly fashion.
We have a plan in place that would first and foremost, assure that our residents are placed in a safe environment and can continue their quest for sobriety and self-sufficiency. Again, thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Elliott, President
Jean Davis, Executive Director
Phyllis Hood, Program Manager
