Event Recap
In 2022 we felt supported once again. With the transition into “back to normal” it has been a challenging year for all of us. It was NVS’ first in-person Cheers for Careers since the pandemic and we weren’t sure what to expect. We are so grateful for the support we received from our community. We had a great time celebrating our annual awards ceremony at the clubhouse in the Jefferson Park Golf Course! The event featured live music by Victor Janusz and friends, his first time performing for us in-person! Larry Snyder returned to emcee the event, making the event so much more fun and interactive with his NVS Trivia Wine Sequence!
We truly appreciate our community partners dedication into helping people with disabilities achieve their vocational goals. Our goals could not be accomplished without these great supporting partners!
