Dear Judy,

Many thanks for your supportive email. Please 
send anyone you think would benefit from our 
ministry at Hammond Street Congregational Church 
to us. We want to be open and safe for all who 
walk through our doors.

Your web site is really impressive reflecting the 
good work you are doing in the area. Several 
people on the Addictions Ministry Team have 
mentioned reaching out to those in jail, so I 
will keep your information and when they are 
ready I will have them contact you for guidance 
by those who have gone before into this arena.

If you can come to the workshop on the 26th. or 
know anyone who this would benefit let us know. 
The flyer is below. Many thanks for any 
assistance you can give us.

                         Peace,  Bill Lagerstrom

Dear Lee White and Friends,

I read the article in the Bangor Daily about the 
addictions ministry.  What you are doing is very 
hopeful and we are extremely appreciative.

Since 2001 we have had a jail volunteer program 
in Ellsworth at Hancock County Jail.  Some of our 
friends settle in Bangor and the proximity to 
your program could be an opportunity for 
their support in recovery.

All good wishes,

Judy Garvey
