February 10th found four ULLR Foundation Board members (Jan Stalpes, Joan
Roe, Nancy Keyes, and Jan Cady) heading to Red Wing to meet with ProAct program directors Sarah Kopp and Sally Ogren. ProAct, Inc. is an
organization dedicated to serving people with disabilities and other
challenges with a wide range of client services that enhance employment
skills and self-sufficiency capabilities.
It was a beautiful day with white snowy countryside fields against clear
blue skies. Mission: to grant monies to ProAct for the purchase of
exercise equipment. ProAct is struggling in this economy with dwindling
projects brought to them, but the staff is resourceful and switching their
focus to still be able to assist the workers so that they feel good about
themselves - either at work or at exercise. The generosity of the ULLR Club
members in donating to the Foundation makes the worlds of those not so
fortunate so much brighter, as evidenced by the smiles on their faces of the
consumers. (my son Chad pictured was a little camera shy, but I know he,
too, will benefit from our donation)
Thank you again - - and ProAct thanks you, too. We will be featured in
their next newsletter. Copies will be mailed and available to us at that
time and we will be sure to post them at our meetings.
