E-NEWS | JANUARY 2017

Thank you!  During our year-end appeal, we added dozens of new donors and thousands of dollars in donations to support our goal of achieving choice, independence, and inclusion for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD).  And now we turn our sights to the year ahead, which promises to be an exciting one.  We'll have more details soon on expansion and innovation in our program areas, so keep an eye out for those.

For now, I invite you to save the date for 2017's Bright Futures Ball, which will be held on Saturday, April 29th from 6:00PM to 11:30PM at the historic Palmer House Hilton Hotel in downtown Chicago.  It will be an evening of inspiration and celebration, and I hope you'll plan to join us.

Despite the chill of winter, Envision clients have a number of events coming up in February and March, so be sure to Like us on Facebook to follow along. I'd like to give a special shout out to our Lady Burners basketball team - pictured above - for getting their season off to a positive start.  Go team!

Here's hoping your new year is off to a happy and healthy start as well.

All the best,
Mark McHugh
President & CEO
