Thank you to each family member, staff, volunteer, and donor who joined us at Springfield Country Club on December 10th for The Communities’ Annual Family Christmas Party. The event welcomed nearly 500 guests, including the men and women with intellectual and developmental disabilities we are so honored to serve.
