L to R: Liz Vollman (Sen. Yaw’s Office), Hope President/CEO Rob Labatch, COO Suzanne Glisan, and Board Chairman Michael Barclay. Hope Enterprises, Inc., is celebrating the momentous occasion of its seventieth anniversary. I was pleased to provide a congratulatory Senate Citation for the recognition. A nonprofit organization established in 1952, Hope Enterprises, Inc., is dedicated to enhancing the lives of individuals with intellectual disabilities by providing them with caring support and responsive services. It offers a variety of programs, including early learning and residential programs, Community Employment Services, an adult day care program and MaxWorx, and it has expanded to serve a seven-county region in central Pennsylvania. Call 811 Before Excavation Projects
Nearly half of all underground line “hits” occurring during excavations are caused by failure to contact the PA One Call system by calling 811 before digging, or failure to wait the required three business days before projects begin. The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission is using Safe Digging Month to remind homeowners, businesses, contractors and anyone else involved in excavation projects of the importance of calling 811 before any project begins and allowing time for utility operators to locate and mark their lines before any digging. Hits on underground lines pose a danger to contractors, utility workers, nearby residents and bystanders. Each incident carries the possibility of serious injuries, service interruptions and costly repairs. Child Abuse Prevention Month April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, a time to rededicate ourselves to strengthening families and preventing child abuse and neglect. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services provides an array of information aimed at preventing child abuse, protecting children from the risk of abuse and promoting healthy families. |
