SHELTER
From page 1A
aid Perry Mayor Jim
Worrall. “Very excited. ”
Worrall said the project is
the brainchild of PVO
administrator Frank
Shelton, who said initial
plans call for a five-building
complex, known as Grace
Village, that will house up to
24 homeless women and
their children for between
90 to 180 days. The shelter
will house women who ask
for help, including women
who have been released
from jail and have nowhere
to turn.
Along with a number of
single-story apartment com
plexes, the shelter will ten
tatively include a 3,000-
square-foot training center
where women and their
families can learn essential
life skills, like reading. The
center will also focus on job
training, faith-based min
istry and personal counsel
ing.
The $500,000 grant will
fund a large chunk of the
project, expected to top $1

From staff reports
The University of Georgia
has announced the names of
undergraduate students
who were named
Presidential Scholars or
achieved the Dean’s List for
spring semester.
The Presidential Scholar
designation recognizes
undergraduates who have
scored a perfect 4.0 grade
point average during the
semester.
Students named to the
Dean’s List have earned a
3.5 grade point average or
higher out of a possible 4.0.
Both designations require
that students take at least
12 credit hours and receive
no unsatisfactory or incom

Lent said. “This is a special
day as we honor these great
Americans and we are hon
ored to welcome them into
our family.
“We also want to take this
opportunity to honor the
great spirit of volunteerism
that has been a hallmark of
the sth CCG. For 40 years,
the sth has had great ties
with Warner Robins and
Middle Georgia.”
Lent said that the sth was
awarded the Warner Robins

ment. This accreditation is
the culmination of over two
years of hard work by the
Museum staff,” said Museum
Director Paul Hibbitts.
“Accreditation is not just
something that we set our
sights on achieving; but it is a
culmination of how our
employees operate on a daily
basis.”
Hibbitts also noted the
staff s goal of voluntarily
seeking accreditation.
“We wanted AAM accredi
tation because we knew it
would expand the Museum’s
professional practices and we
believe that when Air Force
field museum certification
becomes a reality, we can pass
the inspection by simply con
tinuing to keep our present
procedures current.”
He said the accreditation
validates the museum with
its peers in the museum com
munity.

million.
“We are going to be about
$300,000 to $500,000
short,” Shelton said. “We’re
still going to have to find
some way to raise that
money locally.”
Shelton said that the
grant will be used largely for
materials.
PVO owns a number of
homes in the area that are
used to give homeless
women a temporary place to
live, but nothing as large as
the proposed project.
PVO was founded five
years ago, and works as a
practical problem-solver for
people in need, a conduit
connecting people who want
to help to those who need it.
From simple home repairs
to finding a car for work,
Shelton said, the group
helped 1,531 people last
year, and expects those
numbers to climb in the
future. PVO is supported by
local churches, as well as
local benefactors and the
Perry business community.
