A Few Upcoming Events
NEOCH Membership Renewal

Look for our annual membership renewal form in the mail over the next week. We need you to renew your membership, because we are only as strong as our membership. You can renew your membership from our website under About Us/Join NEOCH. It is a few easy, quick steps.

Health Care Report Released December 11, 2008

The Northeast Ohio Coalition for the Homeless surveyed 320 homeless people about their experiences with the health care system over the last month. We will release the results of the survey including homeless people’s experiences with dental and mental health care; the length of wait in the emergency rooms; and which facilities they use most. We asked people about how chronic health conditions led to their homelessness, and can provide demographic information. Please join us as we release this report and hear from a few homeless people who will put a face on this issue. We will release the report on December 11 at 6 p.m. at Trinity Cathedral at East 22^nd and Euclid Ave.

Woodchopper’s Ball December 13

The NEOCH newsletter incorrectly stated that the Woodchopper’s ball was the first Saturday in December. It turns out that it is in fact December 13 at the Kent Stage in Ken Ohio. This is an annual fundraiser of the Coalition organized by guitarist Brian Henke. The musical line up and ticket information can be viewed at www.kentstage.org or calling 330/677-5005. If you enjoy good music, we hope that you can attend.

Homeless Memorial Day Set for December 21, 2008

For the past 22 years, NEOCH has hosted the Candlelight Vigil to remember those who passed away over the last year. Sunday December 21, 2008 marks National Homeless Memorial Day as well as the start of winter, and we will mark the day at St. Augustine in Tremont. The Vigil will feature the reading of the names of those who passed away and we will hear remarks from one elected official at 12:30 p.m. on Sunday December 21. All are welcome to join us after St. Augustine’s lunch at 2486 West 14^th St.
