North Bay Network – Andy Lewis
Last year we had the opportunity to have one of our alumni students, Mr. Aaron Abel speak to the North Bay Network. He has quite a story to tell of how he has learned to live with his developmental challenges. There is no better way for us to learn to reach out and meet people’s needs and to serve them, than to be able to see what it is like to walk in their shoes. Two events are planned for 2010; stay tuned for postcard announcement or e-mail.
