Peoples Oakland Occasional Papers

Notes from the Director

Welcome to a wealth of poetry, short stories and essays by Peoples Oakland members and staff. Some of the poems and essays reflect inner questions and fears, while others reflect hope and grace. Some writers comment on issues of our times and some describe a thing or two about Peoples Oakland's programs.

As we move forward to a beautiful autumn and the coming holidays our programs are thriving. We are especially proud of the holistic wellness programs and activities that encourage and support members to engage in healthy lifestyles. They include "Feel Fine in 09", and the nutrition and fitness programs that support physical health. Peer support, sports, social and employment programs round out a holistic approach to Recovery.

This year we are having our third annual fund raising benefit at the Pittsburgh Playhouse. It is the great musical Carousel, to be performed by the Pittsburgh Playhouse's Conservatory Theatre of Point Park University on November 7th. For more information and links check our home page.

We hope you enjoy the poetry, essays and writing and the coming fall season.

Best Regards,

Sandy
