EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR A MESSAGE FROM THE

As another exciting school year draws to a close, we find ourselves eagerly anticipating the arrival of summer and all the adventures that lie ahead. We are thrilled to reflect on yet another successful year at TLC and are now shifting our focus to the upcoming summer camps.

Throughout the year, we have come together to celebrate a multitude of events and activities that have left a lasting impact on all of us. The KTSPA Casino Night was a resounding success, bringing our community together for an evening of fun and camaraderie, all in support of our special students. It was a night to remember, filled with laughter and friendly competition

We were also fortunate to have a talented KTS Artist-In-Residence Ssuuna, “a dancer, drummer, singer, songwriter, storyteller, and recording artist”, educate and enlighten the school with their positive energy and creativity.

Special Friends and Grandparents Day was a cherished event that brought our community even closer. It was a heartwarming occasion where students proudly introduced their special friends and grandparents to their school environment.

Of course, no school year is complete without the excitement of field trips. Some of the places we went included the Baltimore Musuem of Industry, National Zoo, “Get Air” Field trip, and more.

As we reflect on the past months, we are thrilled to share that TLC's impact extended far beyond the walls of our outpatient office Our recent events and gatherings brought us closer as a community and allowed us to celebrate our achievements together.

One significant event was our annual board and community members dinner, a special evening where we honored and appreciated our board members for their invaluable contributions We also warmly welcomed our new board members, who bring fresh perspectives and ideas to our organization. Their dedication and support continue to shape the future of TLC.

Additionally, our Outcomes Service organized the highly anticipated Employer Recognition Breakfast, held for the first time in three years at the Pinstripes venue. This event allowed us to acknowledge and express gratitude to the employers who have made a difference by hiring TLC Outcomes Participants. The atmosphere was intimate, and we were fortunate to showcase a video featuring Jen and Conor, two remarkable individuals who shared their transformative TLC Outcomes experience. You can find this inspiring video in the Outcomes section of our e-newsletter.

In May, we gathered for our annual company picnic at the beautiful Lakewood Country Club. It was a joyous occasion, as familiar faces that we often only see through Zoom finally came together We engaged in exciting games, fostering a sense of camaraderie and connection. One of the highlights of the picnic was the "tossed shirts" tradition, where I demonstrated my throwing arm prowess by playfully launching shirts to TLC staff members who eagerly raised their hands, reminiscent of an Oprah giveaway moment.

These events have not only brought us closer but have also reminded us of the incredible bonds that exist within our TLC community We are grateful for the dedication and enthusiasm that each member brings to our organization, as it is through our collective efforts that we can make a lasting impact on the lives of those we serve.

As we bid farewell to some familiar faces, we also welcome new beginnings and the exciting prospects that lie ahead. Summer camp and extended school year promises to be an engaging and invigorating experience, filled with laughter, friendship, and the opportunity for further exploration and discovery Our outpatient office, The Family Hearing Center, and Outcomes Service are running full speed ahead so individuals can accelerate goal achievement in the slower months of summer.

We wish you all a restful and rejuvenating summer break, filled with moments of joy, adventure, and relaxation. Our offices are open and we are here for you if you need us.
