Noteworthy Cards Now Available The new Noteworthy cards were on display for the

first time during this year’s Anderson Center Har-

vest Festival and Open House (Oct. 15). We

were excited to finally let family, community, and staff

members see the completed cards. I am happy to say

that they were very well received!

We still have a few packages of cards (8 cards to a

pack) available for an $8.00 donation. For informa-

Harvest Festival and Open House

The clouds and rain did not damper the spirits of those attending this year’s Anderson Cen-

ter Harvest Festival and Open House. Students, family members, staff and the community

came out for some Fall fun, music and food. A good time was had by all!

The art room was open and I had the opportunity to meet and talk with a few of the families of

our students. I was very pleased with the turnout.

It was great to talk with Ryan J’s family (Mom, Dad, Sister, Aunt, Grandfather, Grandmother),

Kevin D’s family (Mom, Dad, & Sister), and Charles S’s family (Mom & Sister). Thanks for

coming!!

The Harvest Festival was held for the first time at Anderson Center’s new Recreation Building (above).
