Yarn and knitting materials needed at OMNI
The OMNI Center is working on their community project and need your help. They are in need of yarns, knitting needles, crochet hooks, looms and things of that nature to create scarves, hats and mufflers for approximately 150 board and care residents. Any donation will be helpful and can be dropped off directly to the OMNI Center, located at 1033 S. Main Street in Salinas. For more information, contact Lisa Corpuz at (831) 754-3838.
Birdies for Charity
Interim, Inc. is pleased, once again, to participate in the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am Golf Tournament’s Birdies for Charity fundraiser.
For two years in a row, our star amateur golfer, Claude Hoover has qualified Interim to participate in the Charity Shoot Out match, and last year’s contest netted Interim more than $30,000 for our programs to provide affordable housing and intensive support services for adults with mental illness.
Birdies for Charity is a nationwide program of the Professional Golfers’ Association, run in conjunction with the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. It’s like a walkathon, with a special twist. There are three parts to the Birdies for Charity program.
First, you can pledge a donation based on the number of Birdies hit scored at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am Golf Tournament. If you pledge a penny per birdie, and 2,000 birdies are scored, you donate $20 to the designated charity, and the Monterey Peninsula Foundation will donate an additional 15 percent. Flat donations are also accepted.
You also have a chance to guess the number of birdies scored during the tournament, with the lucky person who guesses correctly winning the grand prize.
And, finally, the Charity Shoot Out matches two celebrity teams in a five-hole competition representing qualifying charities vying to win up to $50,000 in additional money.
Tournament dates are February 6–12, 2012, so let’s take a swing at it!
Just click on the Birdies for Charity link and choose Interim Inc from the dropdown menu, or contact Susan Alnes in the Development Office 831/646-2220, ext. 306 to make your pledges. It’s a fun way to raise money for Interim’s programs to make a difference in the lives of adults with mental illness.

MST Mosaic Unveiling
Homeless artists with Interim Inc.’s Breakthrough H’Art program unveiled their latest project Tuesday, Oct 11th, at Monterey-Salinas Transit’s transit center in Salinas. The project, which involved homeless adults with mental illness, was a collaboration between Interim, MST, and the @risK Gallery, a project of Dorothy’s Place/Franciscan Workers. Funding for the mosaic was provided, in part, by a grant to Interim from the Community Foundation for Monterey County.
