Making History in Vero Beach!

The link below kicked off yesterday when Dignity Bus #3 went national and the trek to deliver it to the new owners in Woonsocket, RI began. As of this writing the bus with the 5 person bus builders team on board are passing through Washington DC.  They currently have 300 followers watching their progress and the link is below so you too can follow their trip up the east coast.  RI plans a press conference on their arrival at 2 p.m. Wednesday.

Those of us left behind are planning to have a small gathering at the Vero Beach Airport at 9 a.m. this Friday, when the team arrives back home on Breeze Airlines after this monumental trip! While 36 people (within two buses) get to call Dignity Bus their temporary home here in Vero Beach, now 20 homeless individuals in RI will be doing the same! And that’s just the start.  Bus #4 has just been purchased by a non profit in the suburbs of Illinois and you can read all about it on the attached press release.

Vero Beach is on the map with this creative idea of a temporary housing shelter…the only group in the U.S. doing so! And the word is catching…next is Illinois, and a group from Texas wrote to The Source just yesterday wanting to make a visit here to see the operation and on and on….

All the Behind the Scenes people (and I am just one of them) are proud to be part of the team making all this happen, and the men on the bus couldn’t be happier. Tired and hot, but invigorated  and proud!  Let’s all think about coming to cheer them on this Friday at 9 a.m. to say thanks and congrats for making Vero Beach proud as you are part of the Behind the Scenes team helping to get Dignity Bus on the road! It takes a whole community and you are all very much part of it!

Any questions, just give me a call or shoot me an email….
