From The Director’s Corner
It’s an easy time to get wistful and lost in memories. Family Support legend and resident sage, Gordon Wright, is now fully retired and deeply missed. Dick Zeller, Jay Buckley and Jacqui Lichtenstein, all terrific human beings and key architects of the organization and its programs, are meaningfully reducing the amount of time they are working and the roles they play at Direction Service. Much to my relief, none of them are leaving as each is an absolute bulwark of the organization. And, we have a terrific crew of folks who are ready to take the organization up to the next level. As we enter the fall, Direction Service is healthy and ready to roll. We remain strong in an extraordinarily challenging fiscal environment in large part due to the remarkable generosity of our community. Our exceptionally talented and committed staff, the addition of our new Donor Relations Coordinator, and the strength and engagement of our Board of Directors all bode well for our future. Thanks for your share in making this possible. Marshall Peter

It can’t really have been 35 years! 1976 marked the beginning of two organizations that you are likely to be familiar with that went on to bright futures. In April 1976, Apple was formed and began to work on building computers. In October 1976, Direction Service was formed (we met with our first family on January 3, 1977) and began to work on developing strategies to improve the lives of children with disabilities and their families. Apple certainly made good use of their extra six months but (not surprisingly) it’s really Direction Service I want to talk about. |
