Dear Friends of DEC,

December 1, 2016, DEC celebrated eight years of

providing high quality care and services to individuals

with disabilities in the northwest metro-Phoenix, area.

Since moving to our facility on 53rd Avenue, a special

emphasis was given to offering programming for

individuals with medically complicated conditions in

addition to our other excellent programs. I am pleased

to say the efforts have been very well received as

evidenced by the significant client growth in day

program services, limited only by a severe shortage

in qualified and available care providers.

After four years of continuous use, the program facility

was in serious need of new paint. Prior to the start of

the summer program, DEC hired a private contractor

to refurbish the entire facility, repair damaged walls,

install new client storage units, and install newly

donated audio visual equipment. Fundraising dollars

allowed us to acquire four new leather recliners for

client use in the DEC library. Many of our clients

benefit from transferring out of the wheelchairs several

times during the day to relieve undue pressure. The

new recliners provide a comfortable and respectful

alternative to lying on an exercise floor mat.

DEC continues to receive regular monthly support from

several families and local businesses in addition to

donations received in conjunction with the Spring Gala;

as part of the Arizona Charitable Tax Credit; and

through general philanthropy, with overall donor

participation increasing by 185%. The most notable

event stemming from our fundraising efforts was the

delivery of two new Wheelchair vans and a replacement

wheelchair lift. The vehicles were awarded as part of

the 2015

Federal Transit Administration Grant Program.

In addition, we were able to replace the damaged

wheelchair lift in the current Ford van with a new Braun

Lift as part of the grant award. The acquisition of these

new vehicles allowed us to retire the oldest vehicle in

our fleet and expand our service area for day program

transportation. This change was a major contributing

factor in the increase of 62% with client enrollment.

This year, DEC plans to expand our day programming

with increased volunteer opportunities to develop

essential employment skills. Several grants have been

submitted to build new handicap accessible computer

stations and other upgrades to our computer lab to

support the new “Basic Computer Skills” class. This

spring we roll-out our new fine arts program entitled

“Heartfelt Art.” We will be sharing more details about

this new program at our next fundraising event

scheduled for May 5th entitled “Rootbeer and a

Brush.”

On behalf of everyone at DEC, thank you for helping

us continue in the mission of serving individuals with

developmental disabilities and their families. Your

partnership has been vital in our success. I trust that

during this New Year you will experience professional

success and personal fulfillment in all your endeavors.

Sincerely,

Nancy R Younger
