When this building is again in good condition, we will be able to serve more people and offer more programs and services. We hope that all of Hartley House's friends, supporters and program participants, past and current, participate in the many Centennial celebration events. We are seeking alumni from our many programs at the House and Hartley Farms to contribute their recollections to an oral history and a photo display. Future issues of Hartley House News and special mailings will feature news on events as they come up. In many ways, today is a time of austerity.
Every week brings new government cut-backs for social service programs across the country.
Our challenge is to find ways to continue to provide the kinds of programs that the Clinton community needs and wants in the most economical fashion and to find ways to raise the funds to support them. As we prepare for our centennial, we look back on our past accomplishments and rededicate ourselves to another 100 years of programs and services to the Clinton community. Music in the air, pipers in the theatre, percussionists in the library, singers in every nook and crannie. Hartley House is one of 35 settlements in the city, and on August 5th, many of us will be gathering for a day of celebration at Town Hall. In the spirit of sharing the wonderful diversity of all the houses, we have all chosen a country to present in music and art.
