ANNOUNCEMENTS

Hard Times

Babes network had to make some painful cuts this onth. Challenging economic times for the agency have made it necessary to reduce our operating expenses. As a result we have had to lay off two of our staff members. We are sad to say goodbuy to Thanya Wongvanich, Consumer-Family Advocate, Co-Newsletter Editor and Helen Underwood, Computer Specialists/VOlunteer/Event Co-ordinator. Thanya has been a part of the BABES staff for 2 years. Helen has been with us since spring of 2003. We will miss their special contributions to the community of Babes.

Throgh paiful, these changes are part of an overall plan to strengthen the agency and move forward into the future. Michele, Danita, Shelly and Trina will be working hard to maintian our high quality services - YOU are our number one priority. If you have any questions, concerns, or just want to talk about this, call us at 206-720-5566.

Tiempos dificiles

La BABES Network ha tenido que enfrentarse con una decisión muy dolorosa este mes. Por causa de la diflcil situación económica de la organización, la BABES Network se ha visto obligada a reducir los gastos de operación. Hemos tenido que despedir a dos miembros del personal. Somos muy tristes de tener que decir adiós a Thanya Wongvanich y a Helen Underwood. Thanya, ha sido consejera y se unio al personal de la organización hace 2 años. Helen ha sido especialista técnica y organizadora de eventos y voluntarios, Ella se unió al equipo en lka primavera de 2003. Echaremos de menos sus contribuciones especiales a nuestra comunidad.

Aunque estos cambios son dolorosos, forman parte del plan para foralecer la organización y permitirnos mirar hacia el futuro. Michele, Danita, Shelley, y Trina trabajarán para continuar a ofrecer nuestras servicios de calidad. TU eres nuestras prioridad número uno.
