My Nonprofit Reviews

My husband and I had retired in 2006 and were planning a move from Northern California to the California Central Coast to be nearer our daughter and new son-in-law, Danny. Our plans changed very quickly when our son-in-law was offered and accepted a position with the Southwest Autism Research and Resource Center in Phoenix. Our daughter was born here in Phoenix while my husband was stationed at Luke Air Force Base. It had never occurred to us that we would again be living in the Valley of the Sun but here we are. As a member of Soroptimist International for over 30 years and having been involved in many and varied community service projects, I needed something to do and decided it was time for me to become involved. On Tuesdays and Thursdays my grandson, Grady and I go to SARRC together. You will find me at the front desk on those days. I have been volunteering at SARRC for two years now and have enjoyed every day. The staff and volunteers are very dedicated to SARRC and it is a pleasure to work with them. The MOST rewarding part of any day I spend at SARRC is the interaction with the children, both typical and those in the spectrum. The growth of each and every child is nothing short of amazing.
