September Activities

---

"I want to remind all guardians/parents/shared living providers that you can visit programs anytime you want.  If you want to do an activity with your person, you can.  I only ask that you give me a heads up that you are coming.  Either email me at kdufour@amhc.org or call me at 207-728-7197.  This is to get a count on how many people will be here.  HCBS guidelines want our individuals to get out and explore their communities more, but they also want the community to come spend time here at center.  Individuals already know that they can invite whomever they want to the center, but I also wanted to make you aware of this as well."

"In September, staff will be participating in several mandatory trainings.  Services for individuals on these days will be unavailable."

"SJVA is invited to the Soccer Olympics.  Unfortunately, the Special Olympics time frame to get the necessary paperwork in was very short.  SJVA will opt out of Soccer Olympics for this year.  We will dedicate the week of September 18 for soccer activities locally.  I am hoping we will be back on track for next year's Special Olympics Soccer event."
