Bonnie Stone: Author, Gimme Shelter: life of public service in NYC | Eldridge & Co.–Keeping Relevant

Thinking of careers, Bonnie Stone knew only that she "wanted to do good" to do "something tangible!" So, Bonnie went to work for the government! Her book, "Gimme Shelter: a life of public service in New York City" describes public service as the place to do good, describing her work with then controversial methadone programs; working in HRA, developing shelters for the homeless; and in non-profits for 15 years, providing shelter and supportive housing for women and children. Her book, "Gimme Shelter" is enjoyable and inspiring; a must read!
