Beachwood has something to brag about! We just received a letter from The Arc, Ocean County Chapter, stating the Beachwood branch has been selected to receive the Distinguished Community Service Award. This award “is given to recognize an organization that has performed an outstanding service on behalf of people with developmental disabilities in Ocean County.” The branch was nominated by Nikki Harbach, one of the residence workers at the Anchor Group Home. For several years she has regularly brought some of the group home residents to the library. They have participated in library programs and the staff always talks with them when they are here, making them feel welcome.
The awards presentation begins 6 p.m. Thursday, June 11, 2009 at the Quality Inn of Toms River. Several of us will be in attendance.
To the staff – I am very proud of each and every one of you. This is truly evidence of our connection with the community and our commitment to making sure that everyone walking through the doors gets treated equally and with respect. To receive an award like this is humbling honor. My thanks and appreciation go out to all of you.
To Sally and Jeri,
Nikki Harbach mentioned in her nomination form that the residents participated in the programs before my time here at Beachwood. I just wanted to extend congratulations and thanks to both of you because your dedication here as branch managers played such an important part in making a difference in those gentlemen’s lives.
Thanks,
Nicole DeMatteo
