    As part of its 60th anniversary activities, Carey Services will conduct a public open house on Nov. 21 from 9-11 a.m. and 3-5 p.m.

    “This has been a good year as we celebrate 60 years of helping people with disabilities,” said Jim Allbaugh, president and chief executive officer. “From our beginnings with a group of dedicated parents who wanted to see services provided for their – and other – children, we have come a long way in those 60 years.”

    “We are proud of the essential services we provide not only to Grant and Blackford counties, but also to the families and clients we serve in the other counties where we have operations.” Allbaugh said.

    Head Start 50th Anniversary

    The National Head Start Association and the Early Head Start program at Carey Services will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of the national program with a Red, White and Blue day on Wednesday, Sept. 17.

    “Education is not a problem,” President Lyndon B. Johnson said 50 years ago. “Education is an opportunity” Head Start has opened that window of opportunity for the nation’s most at-risk children and families since Johnson signed legislation creating the program.

    On Wednesday, Head Start students, teachers, staff members, parents and supporters will be wearing red, white and blue to help celebrate the anniversary.

    Carey Services’ Early Head Start program provides services for families in Grant and Blackford counties. The program provides services for expectant mothers through children up to age 3.

    For information about Carey Services’ Early Head Start program, call (765) 668-8961.

    Duck Race Creates Big Splash

     

     

    duckrace

    The Eighth Annual Carey Services Duck Race created quite a splash, raising the most money ever and also being the first year it sold out 2,500 tickets.

    The race, conducted June 28 at the Marion Splash House, raised almost $31,500 for the agency. Money will be used to help agency clients. This year also was the first year all 2,500 tickets were sold. The event, in fact, sold out two days before the numbered rubber ducks began their swim through the Splash House’s lazy river.

    Much of the event’s success is because of the volunteers and the sponsors who support it, said James Allbaugh, Carey Services’ president and chief executive officer. Sponsorship also increased this year, including a major sponsorship from Round Robins Bingo, and many other local businesses and individuals provided sponsorships.

    First prize was $1,500, while second prize was $500, and third prize was $250. In total, 16 prizes were awarded. Other major prizes included two $250 gift certificates to Lowden Jewelers, and prizes also were donated by the Indianapolis Colts, Indiana Pacers and Fort Wayne TinCaps. Several other local businesses also provided prizes.
