1 feel honored to address this letter of commendation to the attention of the Kalispell City Council. My
wife & myself have had the opportunity to talk to Flathead Warming Center (FWC) clientele over the
course of the last several years.
The purpose of this letter of commendation is to acknowledge the sacrificial effort & dedication of the
Flathead Warming Centers staff. Adi & I felt privileged to visit the FWC during which time we were
impressed with the caring professionalism and proactive approach when working with the Flathead
valley homeless. We personally observed the FWC staff instructing and discussing with the homeless
regarding their need to be responsible regarding neighborhood concerns. Likewise, holding FWC
homeless accountable for their behaviors and encouraging self -monitoring of prosocial behavior as a
positive reflection on the Kalispell homeless community.
We also can acknowledge the fact that the vast majority to homeless have a significant tie to
the Flathead regarding (local employment, HS education, or local family relations). These are just our
fellow Kalispell residents fallen upon hard times. I encourage you to continue to support the Flathead
Warming Centers based upon the services and support they provide.
Warmest regards,
Dale & Adi Lee
