Dear friends of The Shack,
Thank you all sincerely for your support and smiles you bring to our community.
In my short time as Executive Director with The Shack, one thing that stands out
above and beyond all else is heart! Each person I have met cares deeply and
genuinely for the children and families we serve. I have such a deep appreciation
for each and every one of The Shack’s dedicated and hard working volunteers
and staff, and I know there is no greater reward than the opportunity to work
with passionate volunteers in an outstanding organization. We welcome fall with
great and supportive programming, good spirits, and hardworking hands. Read
more for the good news and wishing you well.
Sincerely,
Tia Lasporgara, Executive Director

Success of the Month
Kids Start the Year Off Right With Fresh Haircuts From Toni’s
Fi een children from The Shack Neighborhood House and the
Family Resource Center will be going back to school looking their
best thanks to Toni’s Exquisite Hair Salon. Toni’s
generously provided cuts and styles free of charge
for the second year in a row in a collaboration with
The Shack and the FRN. Thanks to Toni’s, these
children will be able to start the school year with a
trim or in some cases a whole new look! Toni’s
Exquisite Hair is located at 918 Chestnut Ridge Rd, Morgantown WV 26505 and
can be reached by calling 304-599-3773 or by emailing toniexq@frontier.com.
