July 23, 2015 meeting notes:
Our speaker was Craig Howard from Spokane Neighborhood Action Program (SNAP).  This program serves Spokane county as well as the city.  It is well known for providing weatherization assistance and financial help for paying for utilities and it actually offers about 35 programs ranging from financial counseling to microlending for small business to having a long term care ombudsman program.  Their budget is around $22 million a year and typically about 18-22% of their budget is from donations.  They served 44,000 people in 2014.
