To celebrate the 250th anniversary of the USA, John, Rob, Noah, and Ray went to the ’76 House. It is the oldest continuously run tavern in the United States. Major Andre was imprisoned at the tavern waiting for his trial for treason during the Revolutionary War. George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, and other patriots spent time there.

This past weekend, we came together at Loch Sheldrake Fireman’s Park for our Annual Staff Recognition BBQ—a special day dedicated to celebrating the incredible people who make our mission possible. 🍔

More than 200 staff members and their families joined us for an afternoon of food, fun, and recognition. We honored team members reaching milestone anniversaries of 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 20+ years of service, and recognized our relief DSPs who contributed over 500 hours in the past year—each a testament to their commitment and impact.
Congratulations to our award recipients:
• Shiniqua Rivers – Advocacy in Action Award
• Jalene Garcia – Hope Heart Award
• Sylvia Meachum – Fred Birnbaum Award
• Greyssy Iraheta – Maxine Belson Award
Your passion and leadership inspire us all. ♥
