Friday was an amazing day for Jim and I. We went to the office as usual for our usual Friday Social Worker meeting, but it was anything but normal. As Cesar opened the door many people yelled, "Surprise". We also heard, "Congratulations". We just stood there, dumbfounded. We had no idea what all the hoopla was about! Then they told us, it was the 30th anniversary of when we first incorporated and became the beginnings of Atkinson Family Services.
We also had another very nice event that day. Our good and faithful friend, Paul Robbins, of FOX 40 morning news came to present a check from the proceeds of his book, "Did Sid". The proceeds will go to help us complete the furnishings in the Behavioral Health Clinic area of our new building.
There is not much better than working with people who are passionate about what they are doing, and each appreciates the other for what they do. We are so blessed to be able to work with people like this, and we thank God.
We would like to find more people who are passionate about foster children and would like to join with us as foster parents. It is so great to belong to such as agency as we have.
