Annual Recognition Celebration (ARC)


Helping people with neurological
conditions gain independence,
one person, one job, at a time. 

NVS along with NVSU holds the ARC celebrating NVSU clients and their success stories--plus meeting and celebrating "their" employers, the companies who make it all possible.

The 2007 ARC was held Sunday, August 29, 2007 at Edgewood Garden, Edgewood, WA.  Our thanks to our wonderful hosts Ilga Jansons and Michael Dryfoos.  Client honored:  Karl Kindsvater.  Also honored:  Jackie Houston, a former NVSU staff member and client, who honored her teachers/mentors at NVSU by landing a great job before her untimely death.  Her daughter, Tina Simmons, accepted the framed print of her mother.  Bryant Milliman read "Taliesen", the lovely prose poem he wrote remembering Jackie.

Music was lively and enjoyed, performed by Stephanie Best and Pat Palmer.

Many thanks to all the participants making the day so festive:  volunteers, hosts, clients, honorees, employers, the donors for the raffle prizes, and the musicians!
