Consumers Recognized for Employment in the Community

In celebration of National Disability Employment Awareness Month, The Moultrie County Beacon had a luncheon on October 5th for their consumers that are currently employed in the community.  Currently, there are 13 people employed in the community.

​

Before the awards were given out, staff and consumers enjoyed a lunch at the Sullivan VFW.  After that the award ceremony began.  Each award given out related to the job that each consumer is working at in the community or tasks that they do at their job.
