Support Is Appreciated

Dear Editor,
On behalf of Howard Training Center, I would like to thank the members of our community that have shown support as we continue to provide programs and services for adults with developmental disabilities in these challenging times.
Most noted is the 2009 Leadership Academy for their tremendous effort and hard work to raise money on behalf of HTC. These high school students sold calendars, volunteered, and organized a successful talent show fundraiser. Their efforts raised over $3,200 to support HTC programs.
Our organization was touched by the outpouring of support, phone calls, and letters from family and community members when we closed the Skills Program on April 30, 2009. It was a difficult decision to close this program and tell 36 participants and families they would need to find another program. Thankfully all but one participant are attending new programs.
I am proud to announce that HTC’s remaining programs; Production Unlimited, ARC Catering, Community Employment, Personal Achievement, Golden Opportunities, Community Integration, and Home At Last are thriving.
Efforts by individuals in our community, donor contributions and volunteer time and effort are an affirmation of the work we do. Thank you all for your hard work and contributions.
Claudia Miller, Executive Director
Howard Training Center
