Jaime Hughes has only been on our Board of Directors since April but is slowly chipping away at making a bigger impact with the Fish Samaritan House community! Since then, and thanks to board member Mr. Frank Bellamy she was nominated as Fish Samaritan's new public relations director and has been more hands on than ever! It is not just public image to the media that is important it is also making sure that Fish Samaritan House is clean and presentable. Jaime spends her days tackling between contacting the media and scrubbing shelves at Fish.
"I believe a board member should do more than just sit and delegate. Get your hands dirty!"
Jaime is a 2007 graduate of Cardinal Mooney High School when during that time she was first introduced to Fish Samaritan House. "Our senior year, we were allowed to participate in a service course that allowed us to leave the school and go into our community and help out." A current YSU student with ambitions of getting a masters in Library Science, Jaime dedicates much of her free time to helping others. She is a part time volunteer at the Youngstown Museum of Labor and Industry, a part time archives assistant at Maag Library and also gives her time here and there to help homeless pets in our area get exersize and find good loving homes.
Jaime's main goal for Fish Samaritan House? "To provide Fish Samaritan House with a food pantry every single day (It is currently only open on Wednesdays), and to introduce Fish to those in our community that may not be aware of where we are and what we stand for."
Thank's Jaime for all you do within the community and for Fish!!

Secretary: Cassandra Campean
As apart of our new blog, Fish Samaritan decided to introduce you our friends and family to our boardmembers and employees. Each posting for the next few weeks will introduce you to someone new that is either on our Board of Directors or is a hard working employee of Fish Samaritan House.
This week we introduce to you;
Cassandra Campean who is our secretary on the Board of Directors. Cassandra has been apart of the Fish Samaritan family since 1994 and became the secretary for our board in 1997. Initally, she became passionate about Fish Samaritan because she works for MYCAP Head Start and witnessed first hand the numerous children and families that were in need of things like clothing, food and house hold items. MYCAP also required that she participate on the board of a local social service and found this as a prime opportunity to help Fish Samaritan as much as she can.
What is MYCAP? Head Start/Early Head Start is a social service agency which provides preschool to families who qualify. Children must be age eligible and meet income guidelines. I work for Early Head Start which sevices pregnant women and infant and toddlers.
She is a Youngstown State University graduate with a Bachelors in Psychology, and also holds credentials in Internationally Certified Childbirth Educator, Certified Lactation Consultant and a Certified Doula. What is a "Doula" you may ask? A doula is someone who provides continued support to a mother who is experiencing labor and delivery.
When she is not providing support to newborns and their mothers she enjoys taking trips and spending as much time with her family as possible and is also an instructor at Get'n Fit Aerobics (http://www.getnfitwomen.com/).
Her long term goals for Fish Samaritan House? "To offer other services like helping people pay for prescriptions and getting help with utility bills. It would be nice to expand the food pantry into an actual market, where clients could purchase fresh food for less money."
We thank Cassandra for her continued support to not ONLY Fish Samaritan House but to MYCAP and the mothers in our area as well! Keep up the great work Cassandra!!
