We are excited to finally acquire a new and much needed conference room! This conference room will be able to accommodate our expanding programs and workshops. We also have a small kitchenette which will be used to teach independent living skills.

During this time of giving, we ask that you consider purchasing items that we still need from our Amazon Wish List. Your contributions will be greatly appreciated!

We are also happy to make the new conference room available to nearby organizations for a small fee. Please contact Carole Tonks for information.
