Say Hello Campaign is starting conversations

So often people don't talk to people with disabilities because they don't know what to say. Our answer? Just say hello!

The Say Hello campaign and No Limits Ability Awareness Week reached tens of thousands of people in July through newspaper articles, TV & theater commercials and social media.

To see the commercials again, head to the No Limits website:

No Limits is a collaboration of ASPIRO, CP and Curative Connections.

ASPIRO's Print Shop
in Honor of Bernie and Pat Moran
 
Bernie Moran was owner and proprietor of Moran's Quality Print Shop where he worked with his father and children. His landmark drawings of Green Bay and De Pere featuring prominent historical buildings, homes and churches earned him acclaim as a chronicler of Brown County.
 
Recently, Pat Moran-Bernie's wife of 61 years, suggested to her family that they donate a portable print press, in excellent working condition, and other printing equipment and supplies to ASPIRO so family members Pete and Dan (see photo) could join their peers in printing birthday cards, anniversary cards, get well cards, etc.
 
On August 3, 2016 a Grand Opening Ceremony was held at our 1673 Dousman Street facility where the Print Shop is located in a room with two large windows adjacent to the reception desk. This room draws a great deal of attention so it will serve one of our desired outcomes-to showcase some of the talents that those we serve possess.
 
During the ceremony Pete and Dan Moran, while wearing work aprons designed by their family, demonstrated their skills while other Moran family members explained the printing process, gave instructions on how to operate the print press and answered questions.
 
Snacks and refreshments were shared while the Moran family shared the history of their family print business.    
 
With their donation of equipment, time and talent the Moran family has opened up a new opportunity for those we serve. We cannot thank you enough!
 
In addition to all that they have already done, the family has agreed to teach a printing class to those enrolled in our services during Fall Thursday Night Activities.
 
The next time you visit, make a point to stop by the Print Shop in honor of Bernie and Pat Moran.
 
I'll end because I must meet the editor's print deadline.
