Project Independence Launched |
|
I am very pleased to announce the launch of the new web site for Project Independence in Barre, Vermont. This web site was the brainchild of two very long-time friends, myself and MaryAnne Cerasoli, the Office Administrator at Project Independence. MaryAnne and I worked together at the US Department of Agriculture for more than 20 years. She retired in 1994 and I followed in 1995. Our paths went separate ways after retirement, however, we recently met up at the funeral of a co-worker. MaryAnne said "Boy, I wish we had a nice web site at Project Independence". That's all it took! We started talking about it, and followed up by email. Here we are, about 3 months later with a wonderful site for Project Independence. It's so much more meaningful to me because my beloved Aunt, Theresa Lafreniere, was one of the first participants when Project Independence was founded. Aunt Theresa suffered from very early age onset of Alzheimers Disease. My Uncle, Bob Lafreniere, cared for her in their home for several years. Project Independence shared in his care and allowed him the time to do personal errands as well as have time to himself during this trying time in their marriage. My aunt passed away in 1994 and I am very happy to dedicate this new web site to her memory. Please visit the site at: www.pibarre.org .
