Editor’s Note: Correction
We apologize for the misspelling of NSSPPP team member’s name, Rob Roth in the last Pro-Tactile E-news, not Rob Smith.

Also, the email was dated for October, but was sent in November. We hope this did not create much confusion.

Good-byes to Kelly & Waylon
Messages from Executive Director

Happy New Year to you!  This year will bring your health, joy, success and cherish life.  Enjoy every bit of life in year of 1012!

I share bittersweet news with you about two wonderful staff at DBSC. Waylon Mathern has worked as DBSC’s bookkeeper for four year. His last work day was on Friday January 6th, 2011. He now has new exciting employment.
