Monthly Newsletter

Happy April!
 
You can find your personalized activity calendar for the month in your email. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out. We will also notify you via email if there are any schedule changes, so make sure to check your inbox for communications from Care and Community.
 

While we strive to provide an accurate activity calendar, please be aware that various factors, such as weather, site or activity closures, staffing, and participant numbers, may lead to changes.

 

Also, keep an eye out for events on Sign Up Genius. These events may require waivers, have limited spots, occur outside of day program hours, or incur additional costs.

REMINDER: As the weather warms up and parks open, we will be outdoors daily. All participants should bring a water bottle, a hat, lunch, and sunscreen every day. Please ensure all personal items are clearly marked with your name or initials to avoid misplacing them.

SCHOLARSHIP REQUESTS: Many of you will receive two separate requests from Developmental Pathways regarding scholarships for GymGuyz and Mane Mission. These documents need to be signed as soon as possible for our planning purposes. If the forms are not submitted, you will be ineligible for the scholarships or activities. Both opportunities are excellent, and more information about these organizations is attached to this email.

NEW STAFF: Please join me in welcoming Maddy to our team! Maddy comes with several years of experience supporting individuals with IDD and will be working directly with participants while also assisting our administrative staff.You

Pet Packs has quickly become a favorite activity! Participants have assembled over 400 packs as of this week. They take great pride in contributing to this cause, which provides care packs for pets in need. Each pack includes a bag with 4 cups of food, 2 milk bones, 1 bottle of water, 3 poop bags, and a tennis ball. The joy and gratitude expressed by the recipients have made a meaningful impact on our participants.

To continue this project, we are in need of the following items:

  • Large bags of dog food
  • Large boxes of dog bones
  • Cases of bottled water
  • Quart and gallon size Ziploc bags
  • Poop bags

Feel free to drop items off at the center.

 

We are still on the lookout for new activities and volunteer opportunities! If you have any ideas you’d like to share, please send them our way so we can check them out.

Thank you all for everything you do and for your continued support. We truly appreciate you!
