TUIT REPORT
The TUIT is still hanging out with Vicki Fultz. Vicki reports that the list of people who have asked
about the TUIT is VERY short (like one person). Everyone at todays meeting ignored its existence
budget an extra 20 minutes for that report in two weeks
PROGRAM:
The Big Hatters hosted the meeting today (although we could be forgiven for not noticing that since Big Hat president JoAnn Williams didnt wear her BIG Hat.) Anyway, JoAnn introduced Brenda Massey, Executive Director of TECH and Larry Cupps, Director of Day Services and Support. Brenda and Larry gave a brief overview of TECH, the purpose, who they help and what they do. TECH operates on a budget of about $6 million and with that does about $10 million worth of good. TECH serves about 250 adults and 1,000 children in our community. TECH celebrated their 30th anniversary last year.
Stacy Galleon gave our group a tour of the computer lab and demonstrated the assistive technology in use daily. Stacy explained the computer programs used with the clients of TECH and described the benefits of the programs both as a learning tool and as a means of communication. If you missed this program and tour, make sure you take the opportunity to visit next time it is available what TECH does for those less fortunate in our community is amazing and worth seeing.
