enAble recently launched its new website, designed by the Garrett Group, to widespread compliments and kudos. It features vibrant colors, engaging photos of the people we serve, and concise, relevant content for those seeking information about enAble. The site is also user-friendly and easy to navigate.

 

We are immensely proud of this accomplishment, and will keep the site current with news and updates of interest to the general public and our supporters. Click here to see the results for yourself!

Please join us for our Summer Wine Auction on Thursday, July 29 from 7:00-9:00 PM at the Marietta home of Tom and Michelle Davis.  

The ticket price is only $50 per person for a festive evening of fundraising for a worthy cause. One hundred percent of the evening's net proceeds will be used to support the people served by enAble to live as independently as possible within their communities.  SPACE IS LIMITED.

Melissa Crawley began working at enAble's South Fulton office in January 2004 shortly after she was laid off from her job at TGIFriday's. She is dedicated to her role as an Office Assistant and loves to keep busy. Melissa greets each visitor to the office with a warm smile and makes them feel welcome. She also files, makes copies and faxes documents, and organizes medication cycles every other week for the people served. Melissa enjoys checking her e-mail and working on her computer. One of her goals is to enroll in a class to learn more about computers to improve her skills. When asked what she likes best about her job, Melissa answered, "I love earning a paycheck and interacting with people."

 

Marshall Port was hired as an Office Assistant in January 2009 at our North Fulton office and quickly became an invaluable asset to enAble's staff. He previously worked at Scottsdale Farms Nursery and volunteered at North Fulton Community Charities. He answers and transfers incoming calls with patience and friendliness. Marshall keeps track of office supplies, receives and distributes incoming mail, signs for packages, and is ready to help with any task. Most importantly, Marshall greets visitors to the office with his trademark charm and helpfulness. Each time a staff member or visitor thanks Marshall for his helpfulness, his quick response is always, "That's what I'm here for, to help."

 

Thank you, Melissa and Marshall, for the excellent work you do for enAble.

enAble was awarded a $7,500 Community Initiative Grant this month from the UPS Foundation. This makes the second consecutive year that enAble has been invited to apply for the grant based on several UPS employees' volunteerism at the agency.

 

In 2008 and 2009, UPS staff members took part in Hands on Atlanta Day in October and completed service projects at enAble's Roswell administrative offices and Day Services center. The grant award will be used for Day Services improvements. Lenard Street, Damon Horton, and David Lasley (not pictured) of UPS presented enAble with the check on June 17 at the agency's Volunteer Appreciation Picnic.

 

Thank you, UPS Foundation!

Will Albers earned his Eagle Scout Badge volunteering for enAble of Georgia in March 2010. Will built a retaining wall near the driveway at enAble's Crabapple Group Home in Roswell, as well as a new platform to hold garbage cans.

 

Will also planted six shrubs around the garbage can platform. After completing this project (for which he had to raise $800), Will had money left over which he donated to enAble. He officially became an Eagle Scout on May 27 and his Court of Honor took place on June 4.

 

Good job, Will!
