TLC JULY 2017 E-NEWSLETTER
As we close another successful school year, the entire TLC community should
be proud of accomplishing numerous goals to improve lives and expand
possibilities for those we serve. The dedication of our KTS faculty and staff is
evident in the many accomplishments in our KTS news. All of our staff work hard
everyday to help those that they serve reach their goals. We are fortunate to
have a dedicated TLC highly-skilled team.
This year 's golf tournament was a success and a true testament to the
dedication and commitment of our participants, as our golfers braved the rain to
help individuals with special needs. Participants volunteered to purchase 17
Chrome books for our KTS high school students. Technology is very important
at KTS, as it serves many functions to assist the students and strengthen areas
of need. We greatly appreciate our participants!
We look forward to our many summer programs as well as the opportunity to
rest and relax in the coming months. Enjoy your summer! May rest and
relaxation be a part of your summer fun!

2017 26TH ANNUAL TLC GOLF CLASSICWe are proud to announce that the 2017 Golf Classic raised $52,500 for The Treatment and Learning
Centers (TLC). Proceeds from this year 's event will help support much needed programs and services.
Even though the day was dampened by rain, our sixty-four golfers brought sunshine to our students.
They gave generously the day of and helped to raise over $12,000 just during the day of event. Our
evening fund a need was successful by raising over $5,000 to purchase new Chrome books for the
Katherine Thomas High School students. Having this technology will help these students learn the
best way they can learn. The Chromebooks will also help our teachers be more effective with our
students and help our students learn with programs that are tailored to their needs.
In the past 26 years, the Golf Classic has raised over $1.4 million to support those with special needs.
Thank you again for contributing to a great day of golf and camaraderie to benefit The Treatment and

KTS NEWS
It has been a very active and exciting spring at
KTS! We held our always-inspiring Senior
Breakfast, celebrating each individual graduating
senior and their accomplishments. The Spring
Concert went off without a hitch! Choral members
sang harmoniously and played the instruments
with much finesse. The Art Show showcased KTHS
student talent; paintings, pottery, abstract art, and
more were viewed with much admiration.The 8th
Grade Promotion was another spirit event,
celebrating students ' transition from middle
school to high school. We would like to thank
Johns Hopkins University for providing us with a
wonderful space! The transitioning class shows
tremendous athleticism, creativity, and GRIT, and
will do great in high school! Lastly, we had our
High School Graduation. This year 's graduating
seniors are on their way to their next steps! We are
so proud of ALL OF OUR STUDENTS this year for
working hard and demonstrating GRIT.

UPDDATEOUTCOMES SERVICES
CONGRATULATIONS TO OUTCOMES CONSUMER MAGGIE H. FOR
RECEIVING A MARYLAND ASSOCIATION OF COMMUNITY SERVICES
ACHIEVEMENT AWARD
The TLC Outcomes Service nominated Maggie H. for the MACS Achievement
Award due to her efforts to secure employment after volunteering for the same
organization for 12 years. Maggie displayed great bravery and ambition to chase
her dreams and improve her life by attaining permanent, paid employment.
Attending from TLC Outcomes to celebrate Maggie 's great achievement were
Reka Daroczi (Case Manager), Pam Abramoff (Community Resource Advocate),
Sherri Stocklin (Assistant Program Coordinator), Karen Morgret (Assistant
Director, TLC Outcomes), and Jan Miller-Vogel (Director, TLC Outcomes).
The President's budget, would cut billions in funding to programs that provide critical supports to people
with intellectual and developmental disabilities. This includes $610 billion in cuts to Medicaid over the next
10 years, as well as billions in cuts to Social Security (SSI and SSDI). The budget also essentially eliminates
funding for the Developmental Disability Councils and IDD advocacy by the P&As.
It is essential that we speak out and push back. Please make your voice heard contact our congressional
delegation about the life-altering impact of the AHCA on the lives of people with disabilities- share your
messages about the importance of long term supports and services.
A MESSAGE FROM MACS (MARYLAND ASSOCIATION OF COMMUNITY SERVICES):
Cuts in Medicaid will Negatively Impact People with Disabilities
