Welcome Newsletter Readers!
Thank you for signing up to keep in touch with IPS! My co-founder, Hope Hohmann and I are so thrilled that many of your signed up for this newsletter following our launch on January 18. We are still beaming from the positive feedback we have received about IPS and the many supportive messages!
The response we have received so far validates our belief that our mission resonates with many people. Whether it is the need to create more opportunities for differently-abled people or fill vacancies in the skilled trades due to the rapid retirement of Baby Boomers, supporters realize the value IPS will bring to our community.
This newsletter will chart our progress and share the story of the next part of our journey - fulfilling our mission. Our first objective is to raise funds to begin the hiring process for therapists who will screen and assess prospective students for our pilot programs, to be held in the early fall.
Each month, Hope or I will also share a monthly affirmation, which you can read below. It models the weekly affirmations that we will provide our future students, each centered on a theme to foster their growth.
Please forward this issue to anyone you think might be interested in IPS. We welcome your feedback so please email us your thoughts. Thank you for supporting IPS!
