Box for the troops.

Molly, an employee of TRC, has a son in the Air Force in Bagram, Afganistan. She asked if
any groups would be interested in getting together a “box for the troops.”
SADH participants were glad to help.
Phil Nicosia worked on decorating the collection box (Photo 1). Many items were donated..
David Johnson and Tom Cochran delivered the box to Mike Winship at TRC Receiving..
(Photo 2) The donations were combined with others to be shipped. Cards collected by kids
in her son’s home area were included. The Blue Star Mothers arranged for the shipping.
Donations of microwaveable food items are still being accepted for the next shipment

From Deb’s Desk
I hope everyone is enjoying their summer.
The seniors that attend SADH have been very busy working on several projects and
volunteer opportunities.
Our gardens are filling out and we’ve been able to pick several items from our
“Giving Gardens” this summer. We have oregano, and lettuce to give to St Susan’s
Kitchen! Our tomatoes are out but still green. We’ve had a few beans and our carrots
are coming along. Mother Nature has been very generous watering our plants. Now
we need warm heat and we’ll really see things starting to grow.
Brian Samuelson completed his 2 flower boxes to donate for the Laurel Run. We also
donated a small wall hanging quilt that our seniors made in their quilting class several
years ago.
I’d like to welcome 2 new staff; Cindy Cook and Kristen Harmon.
We have enjoyed two summer picnics— thanks to the help of Tammy who works in
the kitchen.
For our last picnic we decided to invite a few quests. Each person sent signed
invitations to their Agency Hab Spec, MSC and SC asking them to join in our August
Picnic. Together all of us at this event are demonstrating our First Alliance from the
Code of Ethics. It is a great opportunity to use several components from the Code;
Personal Centered Supports and Relationships.
