A Note from Diana Jackson, CEO

SPRING HAS SPRUNG! We are off to great start following our Easter celebrations. There is much to look forward to with Special Olympics being scheduled for April 20th at Cleveland Middle School. There are many volunteer opportunities if you would like to participate. First Baptist Camp at Lake Ocoee is scheduled for May and will likely be a day experience this year.

Several individuals supported by Life Bridges are working and would like to invite you to their place of employment. Burger King on APD 40 and McDonalds on APD 40 are two locations where you will find us. New housing opportunities, upgraded wheelchair vans, and property renovations are underway.

We appreciate the Knights of Columbus who invited us to their weekly meeting for fellowship and dinner. They awarded us a check to assist people in our program who are in the community and need funds in order to afford admissions and dining out at various locations. The Knights work hard to raise funds and we are very grateful for their annual donation!

Also, thank you to all who contributed, attended, and sponsored at our March 2024 Spring Fling – it was the best ever!

 

Life Bridges Partners – Thank you for believing in and partnering with us!

A Note from Diana Jackson, CEO

At the beginning of each year, we recognize employees who are celebrating work milestones. The roster was long and impressive this year, and those receiving certificates and plaques for the 2023 calendar year marked a total of 460 years!
 

Employee of the Year was Lisa Copeland, Speech and Language Pathologist. Lisa is very caring, diligent, and eager to help each person receiving her services. Thirty-year employee, Damaris Betancourt, received shouts of congratulations upon acceptance of her award. Damaris has filled many roles in her years at the agency and currently serves at the Director of Operations. She has also been a family-based provider for 25 years.

The 2024 Spring Fling annual fundraiser is scheduled for March 22, 2024. We are looking for donations of wine, silent auction items, and specialty cakes for the night’s festivities. If you would like to donate, please let me know.

Happy New Year - 2024

By: James L. Kilgore, Life Bridges Reporter

We are celebrating 2024 as a new era of Life Bridges. As a close to the end of 2023, the election year was 2024 we need to vote anyway you want. I hope one day we will become more easier to choose from. We celebrated Christmas this year. January 3rd, 2024 Civitan will have our President-elect Kelsey Nickels talking about the Special Olympics this coming year. It has been nearly a year since I became a member of the Civitan Club of Cleveland. Two months away, I’ll be turning one year at Freddy’s Frozen Custards and Steakburgers. I am now working as a PrepCook and Janitor. Speaking about Freddy’s we have a Fundraiser for Support Life Bridges located at 688 Paul Huff Parkway in Cleveland on January 16th (Tuesday) from 4-to-8 PM. 15% percent of the event sales will Support LB either by Flyer or say I’m here for the Fundraiser.

Happy New Year and God Bless you.
