Our office enjoyed a visit this week from a group of southeastern Virginia citizens who participate in a Cerebral Palsy of Virginia adult day program. The enthusiastic visitors included the Cerebral Palsy staff. Everyone was on a thank-you mission before enjoying an afternoon of bowling.
They stopped by our Norfolk, Virginia office to surprise us with a lovely plant in a pot they had decorated. The reason? They just wanted to say thank you for a $2,100 grant from The Laura Turner Fund, which our community foundation administers. The grant paid for adjustable tables to make it easier for participants to work on projects at a height that is best for them. The tables are used in both the day program and summer camp that will be starting soon.
We are delighted the grant is helpful and that we could award it in the name of Laura Turner. This field-of-interest fund was started in 1997 by the Louise W. Eggleston Center (now Eggleston Services).
