Was a nobrainer. 16 41 18;03 its a fantastic idea he says it doesnt cost his company too much, and its a way to help people in the community. 16 41 18;03 i think theres a lot of people that fall through the cracks just because they dont know what resources are out there. Cedar rapids does a pretty good job of offering help to the homeless and those in need, but if youre not connected to social media or listen to the news or read the paper how do you know its out there. Each card has information about homeless shelters, free it includes addresses, phone numbers and hours. Cedar Rapids Police officers are carrying these cards around with them, and handing them out to people who may need them. 07 02 44;07 if we find someone thats in need whether theyre panhandling or they tell us theyre homeless we will hand out the cards. Its a very comprehensive list of Different Things that they can use and would be of good use to them. But not everyone who gets the cards, actually uses people appreciate the assistance card, and the other half have said no they dont want them nor do they need them. Dawn brouwers is the director of one of the medical clinics listed on the cards. She says its much better to provide resources to the homeless, than money. 16 33 42;13 oftentimes money can be used and it will go away and if someones homeless, its taking them a while to get there so its going to take a while to get out, and 10 dollars, 100 dollars, isnt going to make a difference, its going to be an agency walking alongside somebody for a period of time to card that could help provide support to those in need in a big way. Brouwers says its too soon to tell how many people are taking advantage of the cards, but says those cards will likely be even more helpful as it gets colder. Bruce and beth . Thanks, samantha.

That was what we really tried to focus on in practice this last week, just having energy and getting back to the reason why you play the game.
