THANK YOU!

The third annual Central Pennsylvania Women’s Golf Spring Fling was held at Valley Green Golf Course on Saturday, May 19. Dozens of women enjoyed a beautiful day of golf, food and fun . . . and raised over $3,000 in cash and in-kind donations for the mission of Shalom House. Our thanks to everyone who made this event such a success!

In January, Shalom House was selected to participate in Harrisburg Area Community College's Capstone Web Project program. The program consisted of matching up several local area non-profit organizations with students enrolled in their final Web Development and Design Capstone course with a goal to create a new Web presence for their clients.

During the Spring semester, Shalom House representatives, Denise Britton (Executive Director at Shalom House) and Dan Christ (volunteer Web Master for Shalom House) met with four students, William Geisel, Alan Isley, Edward Pines, and Leslie Steele with the oversight of Professor Carl Petersheim to present ideas and requirements for the new Site. As the semester progressed, ideas were exchanged, meetings were held, design, development, some technical training, and a great deal of hard work was completed.

The final result is the Web Site you are viewing today.

The Shalom House Student Web Team wishes to express their gratitude to Shalom House and thank them for the opportunity to let their skills shine through while at the same time furthering the mission of Shalom House and their online endeavors.

Cheers to a successful launch!!

Many Thanks to the Students from Linglestown Middle School!

Students from Mr. Will Driscoll’s “Fit 4 Life” class rallied to raise funds for local non-profits. Students were asked to research local charities, making recommendations for donations. One student particularly connected to Shalom house being available to people who “have no where else to go”, and his classmates supported the recommendation. On March 30, the students presented Shalom House with a check in the amount of $830.50 to help support services to women and children in our community who have no where else to go.
