UCP of Eastern Connecticut celebrated our staff this week with our "World of Difference" appreciation activities at our day programs in Quaker Hill and Old Saybrook and residential program in Groton. Each day, staff were surprised with a different theme and treat. On Monday, we celebrated how "Our Staff Float Above the Rest" by serving-up root beer floats. Tuesday, staff were treated with breakfast. Wednesday, they enjoyed apple pie, ice cream, and cider to honor them as being, "An Important Piece of the UCP Pie." On Thursday, we enjoyed a "Thanks"giving lunch of turkey sandwiches. Staff were also given a shirt that says, "I Make a Word of Difference" with an image of the world on the back. On Friday, everyone received a customized candy bar with their name on it.
UCP would not be able to fulfill our mission to advance the independence and full citizenship of people with disabilities if it weren't for our dedicated, talented, and caring staff. Each day you come to work, you make the lives of people with disabilities better. You really do "Make a World of Difference" and are appreciated.
