National Volunteer Week Here at Summit House, we would like to thank all our volunteers who have been with us in spirit this last year when all our lives were turned upside down. Even though we have not been able to be with you, we know that as soon as we can we will get back to normal and you will be here for us. We have missed each one of you and all that you do for us. In the meantime, stay healthy and be happy. See you soon.

May Birthdays
In astrology, those born from May 1–20 are Bulls of Taurus. While Taureans enjoy the comforts of luxury, they are unafraid of hard work and dedicate themselves to the tasks at hand. Their steadfast nature makes them reliable. Those born from May 21–31 are Twins of Gemini. With a feeling that something or someone is always missing, Twins forever seek new friends and opportunities. They are curious, intelligent, and sociable communicators, which makes them valuable colleagues and empathetic friends.
