He was nominated by his vocational provider. Of the award winners, there was a drawing for airplane tickets to attend the National APSE Conference in Kansas City. This gentleman was the winner!! He will be flying to Kansas City on July 15th for the conference and returning on the 18th. He is very excited about the trip.

Congratulations and have a great time!!

Fundraising Opportunity

Hornbacher's Grocery Store in Fargo, ND, awared RRHSF the honor of manning the brat stand at their north location the weekend of May 11th and 12th. We provided the volunteers to run the stand....both staff and individuals supported volunteered their time! RRHSF recieved a portion of the profits to help support our Hats and Jeans Fund that assists individuals with needed items they can not afford otherwise.

New Job Going Well

A young lady receiving ISLA supports in Wahpeton recently obtained a new job at Godfather's Pizza. She is doing a great job without any job coaching support. She was complimented by the Regional Manager and Branch Manager during an extremely busy lunch hour. They told her how impressed they were with her work and ability to keep up with the rush.

Way to go!!
