Author Message   Andrea Weisbard Citizen Username: Njnetsfan Post Number: 328 Registered: 6-2004 Posted on Thursday, April 21, 2005 - 12:37 am:        As many of you know I am a client at JESPY HOUSE and I am very proud to be. Anyway JESPY has a web site, go check it out, it's amazing. http://www.jespyhouse.org   Bob K Supporter Username: Bobk Post Number: 8244 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Thursday, April 21, 2005 - 9:48 am:        Andrea, thanks for the link. It was very interesting. All to often when JESPY or a similar organization wants to open a group home in a community the residents protest un the well known theroy of "Not in my backyard" (NIMBY). I think that your posts here on a wide variety of subjects (ranging from serious to just plain fun) show that community based programs are a plus not just for the clients, but a plus for the community as a whole!   ReallyTrying Citizen Username: Reallytrying Post Number: 625 Registered: 1-2003 Posted on Thursday, April 21, 2005 - 2:04 pm:        Nice site, Andrea. I'm happy to see that Jespy House is doing so much good for so many people.   Brett Citizen Username: Bmalibashksa Post Number: 1641 Registered: 7-2003 Posted on Thursday, April 21, 2005 - 2:24 pm:        That site opens up new windows for every page.   Just The Aunt Supporter Username: Auntof13 Post Number: 930 Registered: 1-2004 Posted on Thursday, April 21, 2005 - 4:31 pm:        Brett- Is opening up new windows for each page good or bad? The site was pretty interesting! I remember when Jespy first came to town the residents had to keep Kosher, Andrea is that still the case?   Andrea Weisbard Citizen Username: Njnetsfan Post Number: 344 Registered: 6-2004 Posted on Monday, April 25, 2005 - 12:43 pm:        JTA, Yes the residents still have to keep Kosher, even those in Laurie House, Fischer House, Friendship House and Reisch House. If a resident lives in their own apartment, they have the option to keep Kosher. I don't know if you all know that a person doesn't have to have been a resident to be a part of JESPY, or to get any of the services, some people just come for recreation, or the voctional services etc. BTw, there is an ARTS UNBOUND ART SHOW AND SALE this Saturday at H2tA FROM 1-4pm, I may be there if the doctor says I can't play softball this week.
