Hello everyone, and welcome to our new Website. Let me start of by thanking those of you who visit the Website regularly and tell others to visit. I want to send a special thank-you to the staff at Sycamore Technology Solutions (STS) at Indiana State University, as well as Christopher Moore, who is a UCP Board member, for their instrumental role in getting the new site up and running. Without them, UCP’s outreach to the Wabash Valley would not be possible. We will make complete updates to the site monthly, so be sure to check back often for the latest events, medical items, library items, and properties available for rent.
Our second fundraiser of 2013, the 15th Annual Bar Stool Open, was a great success for both the agency and the participating bars. We were very excited to welcome a new bar, Cuz’in Eddies, to the event. We are grateful to all the bars that participated, whether this was their first year, or they have been a long-standing participant. The Wabash Valley helped us raise over $24,000 to help children and adults who are challenged with disabilities. This was a great day for us. We want to also thank all the volunteers and participants who helped make the day a success. A special shout-out goes to the Terminal for being the bar to raise the most funds for UCP in the event.
UCP in partnership with Terre Haute Redevelopment has just completed the construction four new three-bedroom, two-bath homes in Terre Haute. All of the homes have been adapted to meet the need of individuals with varying disabilities and are eligible for Section 8. Two of the four homes have found families. If you would like more information on our houses and/or apartments, you may call the office at (812) 232-6305 and speak with Travis.
In closing, UCP anticipates organizational growth in 2013. This growth however would not be possible without our friends, supporters, volunteers, and dedicated board members. Remember that the mission of UCP is to create a “life without limits” for people with disabilities.
Hi, everyone! My name is Miss Wiggins, Wiggi for short. I have found a new home here at UCP. My owner lived in an apartment in the Bell Building for many years. At the end of the year last year, my owner could no longer take care of me because he had to go into the hospital. Susie and he made and an agreement that she and the other office staff would take care of me while he was gone. I am sad to say that my owner did not make it home from the hospital, and I do miss him very much. After he was gone, Susie and the other staff could not bare to send me to a shelter and risk having me put to sleep. I have fallen in love with everyone here, I love to greet everyone who comes in the office, and help Susie keep the office running. It is my hope that UCP helps other kitties find homes, just like they did for me.
