What an absolutely thrilling week as we prepare for our 41st Annual Festival of Trees! A massive thank you to our incredible team of volunteers from McKinsey and Company, whose hard work brought the trees to life – we couldn’t have done it without every one of you! We also had some fantastic supporters come together to help set up props and get everything primed for the big event. Once again, a huge shout-out to everyone who pitched in. You all are rock stars! 🌟

Let’s take a moment to give a shout-out to our newly elected People First Officers! What an exhilarating journey this has been for our staff and our individuals alike! From the electrifying campaigns to the heartfelt speeches, every moment was filled with enthusiasm. Dressing in our professional attire only heightened the sense of pride and confidence that filled the air. Today, our individuals took center stage, sharing their voices in a truly powerful way—it was nothing short of inspiring and uplifting! Congratulations to People First!!! 🎉

The People First officers enjoyed a fun lunch at Red Robin, where we celebrated all the amazing things we've accomplished over the past two years. We shared great memories and lots of smiles! It’s been wonderful to see not only our officers grow but also their peers, as everyone gained confidence and learned to advocate for themselves. As we wrap up this term, we’re excited to welcome new officers this Friday. Good luck to all our contenders—we can’t wait to see who will step up next!

We want to give a big "Thank You" to Rep Lindsay Cross and her awesome team for visiting our Long Center location! It was great to share who we are as an organization. She had the chance to check out our Richard B Funk ABA clinic, culinary café, and new CVS mock store.
