| 22nd Annual GALA Results |
 The 22nd Annual GALA was held Saturday, March 6th at the Crowne Plaza Ravinia. With almost 400 guests attending, this was our largest GALA yet and the financial results made it one of our most successful ever! We are very grateful to Frank & Terry Brown and Brown & Company Jewelers, At-PAC, InterContinental Hotels Group, and all of our sponsors, as well as the large number of family members, friends and staff who made the evening such a wonderful success. Pictures from the event may be seen at: http://enablega.shutterfly.com. The planning for next year's GALA on Saturday, March 12, 2011, is already underway under the leadership of Ken and Natalie Aitken. If you are interested in helping please contact the Development Team at devteam@enablega.org or 770-664-4347 ext. 107. |

| Great Days of Service at enAble | |
Peachtree Rd. UMC | Continuing an 18-year tradition, 25 volunteers from the Peachtree Road United Methodist Church rolled up their sleeves and spent a beautiful Saturday working to enhance two of enAble's homes.
Sixteen volunteers spent their day at Pine Grove applying stain to the deck, wheelchair ramp, swing, picnic table and benches. They planted lilies and 12 large azaleas, and covered the plantings with mulch. They also trimmed and thinned out the brush in front of the house.
At the Dodson Drive home in South Fulton, 9 volunteers landscaped the front yard and planted flowers. In addition to their generous contribution of time, these voluntees donated the materials they used.
Cumming UMC | Cumming United Methodist Church also sent volunteers who landscaped the Denna Drive Home. They cleaned out the flower beds, put out pine straw, and planted flowers. Cumming United Methodist Church has been doing Great Days of Service for enAble for 6 years.
enAble is very grateful for these generous expressions of support.
For more information on how you can get involved, please contact the Development Team at devteam@enablega.org or 770-664-4347 ext. 107. |

Planned Giving | |
In the coming months, we will be announcing plans for recognizing those who have included enAble in their estate plans. Part of this announcement will include details of some of the vehicles available to help donors provide support for enAble's mission and avoid taxes.
We will also share information on resources available to help you with your planning, because without a plan, Uncle Sam will likely determine how your hard-earned Estate should be used.
If you have already made provisions for enAble in your Will, please let us know so that we can include you among our inaugural legacy donors
