People Incorporated Launches $2 million Park Avenue Campaign
			People Incorporated launched a $2 million campaign on June 10 to raise start-up funds for a new program providing treatment for people who suffer from the dual diagnoses of chemical dependency and mental illness. The new facility, scheduled to open in January, 2011, will provide residential treatment, day treatment, and after-care components, and will be the first of its kind in the Twin Cities providing a “harm reduction” approach for people with these co-occurring disorders. The $2 million in start-up funds will help People Incorporated purchase a building, undertake renovations, and hire and train staff (the State of Minnesota will cover ongoing operational expenses). Approximately $1.1 million in pledges has been raised to-date and People Incorporated is in the process of acquiring a building on Park Avenue in Minneapolis. You can help us raise the remaining $900,000 by giving a gift via the home page (see yellow Park Avenue Campaign button), or by contacting Barbara Nichols, Vice President of Community Relations, at 651.288.3504 or Barbara.Nichols@PeopleIncorporated.org. Thank you for supporting our work!

			Charmaine Neville and her band thrill audiences around the world for their unique blend of jazz, Mardi Gras, blues, R&B, and funk rhythms--and they’ll be rockin’ People Incorporated’s Annual House-to-Home event on October 29 to help purchase new furniture for People Incorporated programs. According to one reviewer, “Charmaine sang with open-hearted brilliance, scatting like a jazz diva and rocking like no tomorrow.” It will be a fantastic night out for you and your friends that includes dinner and the show. The event is open to the public and will be held at the Midland Hills Country Club in Roseville, from 6:00-10:00 PM.
