🍧🎡 What an amazing day at MRI's Carnival! 🎡🍧

We had so much fun with games, prizes, and plenty of smiles!! A HUGE thank you to Staley Credit Union and Buena Vista National Bank for donating the awesome prizes..our participants loved them! An extra shout out to the Staley Credit Union team for also volunteering their time to make the day a success. 💙

From snow cones and cotton candy to face painting and cheering each other on at the dunk tank (yes, our employees were brave enough to take the plunge 💦), it was a day full of laughter, community, and connection.

Thank you to everyone who joined in the fun and made it such a special event!!

🪧✨ Handmade with Pride by Our Supportive Employment Program! ✨🪧

Our amazing individuals in the Supportive Employment Program have been hard at work creating beautiful, one-of-a-kind signs using Cricut technology — and they’re ready for YOU to take home!

Through this project, participants learned new skills in design, crafting, and production. They’re incredibly proud of their work — and we are too! 💙

👉 Signs are $30 each
We accept cash, check, or card

📸 Check out the photos below and claim your favorite by commenting on the picture!
We’ll follow up to arrange payment and pick-up.

💬 Your purchase not only gets you a beautiful handmade item — it supports skill-building, confidence, and meaningful employment for individuals with disabilities right here in our community.

More signs will be coming in the future, but quantities are limited — so don’t wait!

🌊💙 Water Day at MRI! 💙🌊

There's nothing quite like the sound of pure laughter echoing in Meaningful Meadows! Today was Water Day and watching our amazing individuals splash in the foam machine and play together reminded us why we love what we do.

From the biggest smiles to the sweetest giggles, every moment was filled with happiness. Our MRI family knows how to turn an ordinary day into something extraordinary!

The sun was shining, the foam was flowing, and the joy was absolutely contagious. Days like these remind us that it's about the connections we build, the laughter we share, and the community we create together.

Thank you to our incredible staff and Foam & Flight - Bubble Parties who made this day possible and to all our wonderful individuals who showed us what pure happiness looks like!

Here's to making more memories, one splash at a time! 🏊‍♀️☀️
