I myself was proud to offer my support when he asked me for a letter of support. I have been a volunteer with both the shelter and the and have been employed at each of the two Establishments a few years ago on a government ten week contract i have been around the shelter volunteering since Jim Lewis was the Director there,I also was employed at the Fredericton Community Kitchen and am currently a Volunteer at both places. <BR/><BR/>plus a few years ago I was where some of these unfortunate individuals are now. I was not into the needles or sniffing Cocain, but the addiction is still addiction and I was into the pot and other drugs not to mention prescription medication. So I do know what I am speaking of.Michael G.

Jim did indeed do a great job as I am sure he will continue or who ever replaces him will do.<BR/>I think someone else who deserves mention here is Mavis Doucette, she has been doing this job for the past 5 years 4 to 5 days per week as a volunteer , she walks the streets with clean needels condoms and non perishable food items, she drives people to places, helps Jim Wilson at the YMCA and advocates every chance she gets for the homeless & addicted population. I know just this past week she helped a homeless man get his dog back from the SPCA and helped another young lady replace her tent and sleeping bag when hers were destroyed.<BR/>Hats off to all the people out there who give in any way they can to help those less forunte.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9571186.post-2832861941896351612007-09-01T18:09:00.000-03:002007-09-01T18:09:00.000-03:00Just curious, I see you say his contract is expiri...Just curious, I see you say his contract is expiring and you of course are saying you would like to see it renewed. What you don't actually say is if he still wants the job. Now you might know him so well as to think this is obvious, but a lot of people don't know him and your letter never really says what he wants.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9571186.post-41299571360056438932007-09-01T15:05:00.000-03:002007-09-01T15:05:00.000-03:00I agree as well.There will be many people out ther...I agree as well.There will be many people out there without a way to get to the places that Mr.Wilson now takes them to.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9571186.post-12759965164080153312007-09-01T13:49:00.000-03:002007-09-01T13:49:00.000-03:00You hate Irvings.

I am a volunteer at the Kitchen on the weekend and I sometimes help out through the week if help is needed. I have often found Jim Wilson in the middle of helping the poor, and low income in our City, by driving to the food bank or, to pick up a prescription from the doctor or ,even a doctor's appointment. These people take a long while to trust a person because they have been messed around by so-called well meaning people with good intentions.<BR/><BR/>I strongly believe that it is in the best interest to keep Jim on at least until a someone can slowly work their way into his position. But to just arbatrarily replace Jim at the drop of a hat, is not a good thing to do, bdcause the trust has to be built up all over again.Michael G.
