The holiday season is rapidly approaching and before we are all overwhelmed with the whirlwind that envelopes our lives during this time of year, I would like to invite you to join all of us at BARC and savor our crisp fall weather while it lasts, and slow down for a moment as we give some thought to what we are thankful for this year. The past year has been tumultuous, to say the least, for our country and state, as well as our own county and city as the economy has impacted all of us in some way. It is easy to temporarily forget, in the chaos that is life, all that we truly have.
As the year of BARC’s 60th Anniversary winds down, we are reminded of how much there is to be thankful for while looking forward to what the next 60 years brings for our Clients, families and community.
We are thankful for the Clients we serve as they remind us with their smiles and enthusiasm why we come to work every day. Their well-being is entrusted to BARC and we are thankful for the supportive families that bestow that trust upon us. We provide services to over 500 Clients daily and we are thankful for both the support of the Kern Regional Center and the BARC staff for their dedication and for making it look easy. We are especially grateful to our community for unwavering support without which we could not have survived these 60 years. We are blessed with the best families, volunteers, cheerleaders, vendors, customers and benefactors any organization could hope for and we are thankful every day they share our vision and partner with us as we work to Give People Purpose for another 60 years.
All of us at BARC wish you a holiday season filled with blessings and promise that will last through the upcoming year.
