“I am Paulette. It has been my privilege to volunteer at the Hospitality Center since it opened over 20 years ago. It is one of the great privileges of my life. I have always longed to communicate love and respect especially to those who are devalued by society. The Center allows for just that. Join us for the joy of it. Join us for the blessing.”
