I got a request some time ago to
photograph the charity pickets at the Wesley House in Key West. I apologize for the delay but here it is...
The
Wesley House is one of those laudable Non Governmental Agencies that keep communities functioning in ways that
are not immediately obvious but that are invaluable. They provide services for low income families for people that need help and don't know where else to get it. As is always the way they are on a constant hunt for money, though their barometer on
Varela Street at Virginia Street got pushed a bit into the background by the over enthusiastic ministrations of the landscaping crew:
Their goals are not modest but as best as I could tell they were doing well, in raising the red ink as it were. Wesley House offers tons of services and recreational outlets
in a town where parents always complain of nothing to do:
And in order to keep on providing services and opportunities they have started an innovative fund raiser whereby people buy stakes in the picket fence around their brand new crisp clean facility at the Inez Martin Center:
The picket fence stakes carry a plaque with the name of the donor:
And as the person who asked me to take the photos was anonymous I felt I could do no better than highlight this one, for which profession I have a
particular fondness as my wife is one:
Online and in hard copy, as they say:
For a good local cause the money keeps rolling in, we hope.

Wesley House is a great organization and a long standing beneficiary of Parrot Head charity every year at the Meeting of the Minds the Annual Parrot Head Convention.
Thank you for taking these pictures at my request. It's a great charity and even though I won't make it to Meeting of the Minds this year, I will certainly keep contributing.

Glad to do it. Especially as I don't have TV and am thus buffered from Olympics mania!
