Dear friends and family,

As you may know, I work at Orange Grove Center.  It is truly more than a job to work here.  Orange Grove Center changes the lives of the people we serve by increasing their independence and improving quality of life.  I have been continually impressed with the level of support, care and respect given to the clients here.  They are given the supports that enable success in school, vocationally and socially.   I want to ask you to help me and our center in a campaign to improve our facilities and expand important programs.

The capital campaign has a goal of raising (a much needed) nearly five million dollars to provide support for upgrading our facilities and expanding important programs, including the ever increasing needs of persons with autism.  We are reaching out to everyone in this campaign not just the foundations and corporations but also individuals who care and support our worthy cause.  The Orange Grove staff is calling our part of the campaign “more than a job” because that best describes our commitment to those we serve.  Any contribution you can make will help our important work and assist me in my personal goal.

Donating through this web site is simple fast and totally secure.  If you prefer to send a check or consider a pledge over several months or even years that can be done with a pledge card.  By visiting the Orange Grove Center web site at www.orangegrovecenter.org you can learn more about the campaign and the services we provide.

Thank you for support and feel free to forward this to anyone you think might want to help me and Orange Grove Center.

Thank you,

Lisa Farmer
