The Neighbors We Serve:
Challenges Unlimited is a recreational and socialization program for adults with Developmental disabilities ranging in ages from their 20's to 70's. The program is part of the Association on Aging with Developmental Disabilities. In the program they do many different activities such as exercise classes, arts and crafts, going to concerts and museums to learn about the St. Louis area and our state. The program began in the mid 1980's at the YWCA and Gary Paul worked with the program from 1991 until 2008 and then became part of it again in 2010 until his retirement in 2017. They meet here at Timothy twice a month on Thursday.
