<p class=MsoNormal>I am pleased to announce, we raised $1775 from the sale of
raffle tickets for the 4<sup>th</sup> generation iPod. After paying for the
iPod and the raffle tickets, we raised $1549.55. The money raised will be used
to offset expenses for students to participate in confidence building
activities. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to sell raffle
tickets and to those who bought raffle tickets, great thanks goes to you as
well. I am also pleased to say that two of our students each sold $140.00 worth
of raffle tickets. Our very own James Konechne won the iPod, so he will be
rocking-out with the new accessible iPod. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks again to everyone for your continued support of the
work we do in the Rehabilitation Department. We are changing lives daily and it
would not be possible without your support and dedication to our training
programs. <o:p></o:p></p>
