Logan loves performing! Above, he sings some Country tunes for UCP participants

Logan W: "The Music Man"

Anyone who has spent time with UCP participant Logan W. knows that music is his passion. Whether he’s singing, creating a playlist, or conducting a sound-check; if it involves music and electronics in any way, he’s all about it. Logan comes by his passion honestly; his mother Ann worked in video production for years. She used to take Logan to work with her evenings and weekends while she performed video and audio editing. Ann soon realized that her son had an affinity for electronics, so over the years, she bought him musical instruments and equipment rather than toys.

Today, Logan possesses an elaborate set-up of turntables, speakers, mixing boards, microphones, and more. Opportunities to DJ at local events have dwindled since the pandemic but Logan continues to "get the party started" at UCP’s Summer Carnival and Fall Festival, as well as Vibrant Church’s annual Tim Tebow "Night to Shine."

"March comes in like a lion, out like a lamb."

CPS Supervisor Christa Maroney asked participants to consider that expression and to decide for themselves if it was true... or if it was the opposite. Each individual crafted a lion and a lamb and then posted them on the side of the board that reflected their position. A quick count revealed the majority believed the original expression to be true. (It makes you wonder if they've been talking to Punxsutawney Phil, who predicted an early Spring!)

"Green Eggs and Ham"

March is also widely recognized as the birth month of children's author, illustrator, and cartoonist Dr. Seuss. In honor of his 120th birthday on March 2--and in recognition of what is arguably the author's most popular book--CPS participants shared a meal of--you guessed it!--green eggs and ham.

March is Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month

Each March, UCP embraces the effort led by National Association of Councils on Developmental Disabilities (NACDD) to highlight the many ways that people of all abilities come together to form strong, diverse communities.

Throughout UCP--from Fiscal to Frontline, from Admin to Assistive Technology, and more--our staff champion the importance and the value of including people with developmental disabilities in all facets of life. We also work diligently toward removing the barriers that people with disabilities face in their everyday lives at home, work and in the community.
