Dear Friends,
This has been a busy summer for us. Membership has grown, new directors were appointed, the website was improved, and a comprehensive strategy for housing was articulated. We hope you are satisfied with our progress. Thanks to the many who have worked to make this possible.
Memberships
Since we began less than three years ago, we now have close to 300 families and interested supporters on our mailing list. There are over 285 children and adults with special needs represented who can prosper in the sorts of communities we are working to create. Thanks for being part of our efforts.
Community Building
Community outreach is important: we can only help people who know about us. Please tell other parents about our work, if you think they or their children might benefit. Our intention is to provide you with useful information and possible options. To this end, we have improved our website and are implementing a Facebook page and public Facebook Group. Look for an announcement of these pages in upcoming newsletters. We are holding regular meetings with families to present our ideas. Our next meeting will be at 2pm on September 10th, at St. Mary's College High School, 1294 Albina Avenue, Albany. Please come, learn about our ideas, and meet our directors, volunteers and other families.
