On Monday, October 17, Congressman
Bobby Schilling made a visit to Warren Achievement Center. His first
stop was our workshop Achievement Industries, where Barb Huyser, Director of
Adult Day Services, explained the types of work consumers do at the
workshop. Barb described our paint remanufacturing process and our
electronics demanufacturing. Above left are Schilling and Michael
Lewis, President/CEO of WAC. Above right with Schilling is Lewy Neal,
Floor Supervisor at Achievement Industries. Also visiting with
Congressman Schilling were his son, Terry Schilling and Virginia Pettit,
mother of a WAC service recipient. Congressman Schilling also visited
the WAC Corporate Office and attended the noon Rotary Club meeting in
Monmouth.

Early in 2009, the Department of Housing & Urban Development
approved WAC's application for construction of a 6-bed adult group home at
417 West 11th Avenue in Monmouth. After the initial closing with HUD
on August 25, 2010, construction was underway within a few days. We
are happy to report that the home is finished, and residents have moved in!
The six residents are becoming accustomed to their new surroundings after
the move on August 1 & 2. |
