The 2nd Story Club, another Great Asset

This weekend I had the good fortune to meet the beautiful and gracious Alayne Okland, Executive Director of The 2nd Story Club. I met Alayne like I've met a whole lot of people, at a rummage sale.

I almost passed up this rummage sale because it was a downtown address in the heart of the business section of Minot ND. I'm sure glad I didn't. The rummage sale was being held by The 2nd Story Club of Minot which is a social club for adults with developmental disabilities. I like that their literature says "For Exceptional Persons", I certainly could feel that as I was there. The club was started 33 years ago and they receive NO State or Federal funding.

Alayne and her assistant run the show with a lot of wonderful volunteers. The facility includes a reception area, TV room (see the picture below), large activity room with a stage, kitchen, game room, and staff area. You can check out their website at http://www.secondstoryclub.com and if you wish to contribute that would be great to!

2nd Story is a wonderful opportunity operated by wonderful people. Visit their website and give them your encouragement, they certainly deserve it. Do me a favor and tell Alayne that Bob sent you.
