Residents send packages overseas
SEM Haven residents had the idea to send packages to men and women serving overseas. They began getting names of relatives and friends of those who live or work at SEM Haven. It became very personal and meaningful to recognize someone they know, rather than someone anonymous. Resident Betty Shoup packs a box for her nephew, Bill Spicer, who is stationed in Afghanistan. Louise Schehr watches. They plan to continue sending packages monthly with donations from staff and family members.
