SHEP CONNECTION CORNER - August Newsletter
SHEP’s Connection Corner
The stores already have Halloween out!
Steadily Growing!
We have been doing 1 on 1 trainings to get SSPs certified. We have a couple coming up! Yay! New SSPs!
It was the hottest month EVER!
That’s no exaggeration! July is the hottest month on record for the entire globe. They even said ice in Greenland has melted and formed little tiny lake pools. Let’s see what August brings. I know we are all looking for some relief from the furnace we call outside! Speaking of outside, we had a most refreshing time at the Botanical Myriad Gardens in July. It actually rained and cut our time a tad. It was a beautiful experience. We took a stroll through the children’s garden as well and discovered a vine covered tunnel that led into a secret gathering place. IamBD was cancelled for July due to a loss in the President’s, Cassandra’s, family. Just a couple of weeks before that Cassandra has gallbladder surgery. The good news is she is healed and able to eat more of the foods she loves now!
We are pleased to announce we are on our second contract year with a full staff to serve the DB community! And we have a van to help out along the way! There will be future SHEP related events we will extend van pickup service for. Stay in the know!
This month of August, SHEP is not hosting any events. We’re out here reaching out daily and finding more to involve the DeafBlind community.
Don’t forget to send us an email with your birthday, etc.
July was fire hot! We’re chilling in August.
