WE PASSED!

The Board of Health performed a State Hotel Inspection at Hotel Louisville today and we passed. Women and children who are currently renting rooms in the hotel will be able to continue if they wish until their 30 days are up. They will then have to exit for 24 hours, but then they may check back in for an additional 30 days. The rooms that these former Emergency Shelter guests are renting are our economy rooms that cost only one cent per night. People in the community have donated their pennies to be used to pay for the rooms so our guests will not have to worry about the small expense.
On Friday of last week the Board of Health inspected the kitchen facilities at the hotel and gave us a green light for operation. This will allow us to actually cook and serve food in the building when we are ready. Each of these two inspections indicated some minor violations that will be easily corrected but we expected that with a new operation.
With these two conditions met we are now looking forward to preparing and serving our Thanksgiving meal in the Grand Ballroom at the hotel. The room will offer more space than we have ever had to work with, seating 300 guests at a time and providing space for entertainment and servers. We look forward to providing a wonderful meal to our guests and visitors on that special day for the Mission.
