Why do you close the warming center during cold and snowy weather.?Isnt
that’s what it’s for? Just curious
I was thinking the same thing, thought the Warming Center is for the needed ones to get out of bad weather
Wally,
I guess the question would be why the Old South Church would want to encourage older people (or anybody) to venture out on a day with dangerous driving (and walking) conditions. Schools and government offices closing should send the message to stay home.
Maineboy,
If you’re going to open up the warming center on sunny days at 40 degrees then why bother.?
Maybe they need to change name to community center because there ain’t nothing warming about it
Wally,
No point in arguing with me on this, I don’t run the warming center. Why don’t you stop by the warming center next time its open and explain that in person to the people who volunteer their time there – I’m sure they’d appreciate your feedback in person rather than reading some anonymous comment in the Bulldog. They might even share with you their reasoning why they needed to close.
Thanks Wally.
Hmm….schools closed (safety), town offices closed (safety), libraries closed (safety), transfer station closed (safety)
Franklin County Govt closed (safety), animal Shelter closed (safety)…..hmmm maybe the warming center was closed for safety reasons??
Good call, safety counts!
I realize that school was cancelled etc. There are homeless and vulnerable people still out looking for a warm place
to go to get a hot meal and to get warm. I believe that’s what this is for. I just think it’s kind of odd to think that when it’s storming and really cold out they close. This is when folks need it most.
I will stop by as ask the folks in charge but I guess I’ll have to wait for a clear and warm day… probably in April!
So let me get this straight…Wally is mad that the free service, staffed by volunteers, at a church, is closed? Wow…take a step back Wally and really think about what you are saying. If you are that upset about this situation I should say maybe you should go volunteer your time. Did you ever think maybe they didn’t have enough volunteers for the day? See that word there…volunteers…aka “people GIVING their time away for free…”

I would gladly volunteer but right now I work 6 days a week. Yes even in cold and snow!

Wally:
As busy as you are you really need to think about taking some time off from your i net activity, stress simply ain’t good for anyone in your situation
Maybe they should permanently close the warming center for the same reason people shouldn’t feed deer in the winter…..Think about ‘that’
It wasn’t that long ago the world kept turning during a four inch snowstorm.
