🎉 January Celebrations at MVRA! 🎉
New year, new reasons to celebrate the incredible people who keep this place running.

🎂 January Birthdays
Help us wish a very happy birthday to:
Tammy, Grace, Ethan, Colleen, Seb, Michelle, and Mo
We hope your birthdays are full of good food, and good company.

🎊 Work Anniversaries
We’ve got some big milestones to celebrate this month:

⭐ Aleesha C – 10 YEARS!
Aleesha has worn many hats over the years, supporting both our residential and community programs as direct support and in management roles, and now keeping us all on track as a billing specialist. She works incredibly hard to keep billing and authorizations straight, brings an amazing attitude to everything she does, and has a genuine ability to connect with others. We truly appreciate all that you do, Aleesha—thank you for ten amazing years.

⭐ Mo – 3 Years Back with Us!
Mo is celebrating her third year back at MVRA as our Mental Health Program Coordinator, overseeing DLS and case management in Bangor. She is patient, understanding, and exactly the kind of leader our staff and clients need. We’re lucky to have you in this role, Mo.

⭐ Will P – 4 Years!
Will is celebrating four years with MVRA and continues to be our per diem superstar, supporting both residential and community programs wherever help is needed. Reliable, flexible, and always willing to jump in—we appreciate you, Will.

❄️ January Fun Facts
January 4th is National Trivia Day
January 15th is National Hat Day
January 20th is National Cheese Lover's Day

Some people may say January is just December but with fewer snacks or that it’s the Monday of months, but we’re making it work. January can feel like 87 days long, but we’re already crushing it.

Thanks to all of you for starting the year off strong. Here’s to a great January and an even better year ahead! 🎆

🎉 Happy New Year's Eve! 🎉

As we wrap up another year, it’s a great moment to pause, reflect, and set intentions for the one ahead. You don’t need a big resolution — sometimes the smallest, most realistic goals end up making the biggest difference.

A few ideas to kick off 2026:
• Choose one healthy habit to focus on
• Try something new each month
• Spend more time with people who motivate you
• Set one personal growth goal and one “just for fun” goal
• Celebrate progress — not perfection

Whatever you’re hoping for in the new year, we’re rooting for you. Here’s to a fresh start, brighter days, and a year full of opportunity. ✨
