The View From My Chair a message from our Executive director
I’m not going to say that 2012 is going to be a great year for Garden Center Services. What I want to say is that 2012 is going to be a great year for each individual supported by Garden Center Services.
OUR MISSION Garden Center Services is committed to supporting and empowering persons with developmental disabilities through innovative and person-centered services. Our commitment to the excellence of our programs is surpassed only by our devotion to the people we serve and the communities in which they live.
The truth is, if 2012 is to be a great year for our consumers, it will take all of us making and acting on this statement together for it to become reality.
“ I believe at times I believe at times there’s a real benefit to there’s a real benefit not thinking about our to not thinking about agency as a whole, but to look into the eyes and our agency as a faces of each person we whole, but to look serve. Only then do you into the eyes and get a real sense of all the hopes, disappointments, faces of each person and potential that lies we serve.” within every consumer that attends our programs, and how the true purpose of our agency is really knowing and assisting each person individually.
In this first newsletter of the New Year, I am simply asking each person that is reading this article to make a serious commitment to support this cause through your time, energy, and financial resources. Following are a few wonderful faces that should provide all the inspiration we need ☺.
