From the CEO

Anne Ruwet
Chief Executive Officer

On behalf of the staff and Board of Directors, I want to thank each person who found it in their heart to think of CCARC in their gift giving over the past year. In a time when we hear about the woes and fears of a tough economy, I find it incredible those individuals, businesses, religious and civic groups are continuing to share their gifts of time and monies with CCARC.

CCARC, as a member of Connecticut Community Providers Association and Connecticut Association of Nonprofits, will be actively collaborating with both these trade organizations to advocate with legislators about the critical services we provide to the most vulnerable citizens of the State of Connecticut. We must not be forgotten nor overlooked as the state faces one of the largest deficits in its history. We will need your help over the next few months to call, write or e-mail our legislators to make them aware of the importance of our services. We provide long-term care and intensive supports to people who depend on our quality services everyday of the week. So, if you are not on our e-mail alert list, please send me an e-mail and we will let you know what is happening and how you can help.

My thanks to you and may 2009 bring you and your family good health and prosperity.
