July 1 2009 - June 30 2010

Well, they say the first few years of a child's life are the hardest. You have to teach them how to walk, and talk and change dirty diapers and of course the 2 am feedings.

While our shelter is not a real baby requiring the above mentioned things, and while Turning Pointe has been open in Mason County for about 10 years, we are still a very new shelter at only a year and a half old.

Marsha, our financial coordinator has compiled our revenue and expenses report for the last year. Its pretty scary and we need your help!
