You are not alone!<br> <br>Next……..it’s SIL’s 40th Anniversary! Yes! We are 40 years old! Throughout those years, SIL has been a mainstay in the community providing services and supports to address barriers faced by persons with disabilities. Our staff are caring and creative and truly believe in the agency vision of a society that is accessible for all. As a result, services have evolved throughout the years to meet varying needs expressed by individual we work with. Most recently, we have brought on a Leadership Academy to help individuals gain skills needed to fully participate on system change committees, community task forces and boards of directors in a meaningful way. Our Healthy Lifestyles program helps people make good decisions about nutrition and health eating. In addition, we are in the process of planning a Youth Leadership Forum which is so exciting! More information on the forum is available in this newsletter.<br> <br>You will also notice that our logo has changed! After multiple comments from the community, we realized that we had outgrown the old logo. In fact, it precluded people from contacting us because they thought we only worked with persons who used wheelchairs, which is not the case. As we updated the logo, we also created an agency video which can be seen on our website.<br> <br>And finally, I want to introduce Shannon Monyak to you. Shannon is SIL’s Associate Director and currently oversees all individual services and quality assurance measures. More importantly, Shannon will be taking over as Executive Director of SIL on July 1st as I will be retiring at the end of June. I have loved being part of this agency and am excited for the opportunities Shannon and her team will bring. Once the world returns to normal, and we are back in the office, please reach out to welcome her in her new position!<br> <o:p></o:p></span></p></td></tr></table></td></tr></table></td></tr></table><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" style="width:100.0%;border-collapse:collapse;min-width: 100%;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%"><tr><td style="padding:0in 0in 0in 0in;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%"><div align="center"><table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" style="width:100.0%;border-collapse:collapse;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%"><tr><td valign="top" style="padding:0in 0in 0in 0in;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%"></td><td valign="top" style="padding:0in 0in 0in 0in;min-width: 100%;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%"><table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="left" width="100%" style="width:100.0%;border-collapse:collapse;min-width: 100%;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%"><tr><td style="padding:6.75pt 13.5pt 6.75pt 13.5pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%"><table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" style="width:100.0%;border-collapse:collapse;min-width: 100%;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%"><tr><td valign="top" style="border:solid #F0940B 4.5pt;padding:13.5pt 13.5pt 13.5pt 13.5pt"><p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center;line-height:150%"><strong><u><span style="font-size:18.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:navy">SIL'S RESPONSE TO COVID-19</span></u></strong><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#F2F2F2"> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#F2F2F2"><br></span><strong><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:navy">SIL Services During COVID-19 Pandemic:</span></strong><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:navy"> Our top priority is always the safety, health and well-being of our consumers, program participants and staff.
