Ken's Korner

As we approach almost normal operations, I want to thank all who have helped get us to this point: home care providers for getting vaccinations and for monitoring clients' health and for keeping folks home when necessary; agencies and providers who adjusted to our transportation schedules determined by available drivers and the reduced number of riders allowed on each vehicle; our staff, for taking care of themselves so they could care for others and for working on production jobs to see that we met quotas on our many contracts. 
It was great to see everyone at our in-person fund raisers this year:  the Annual Charity Golf Outing and the BAWAC at the Y’alls event. Now we hope to see you at the Bean Bash on Oct. 8th. Thanks to those who donated gifts for the auctions.  
As BAWAC nears our 50th anniversary year, we have a lot to celebrate and be thankful for.  We are an agency and an industry that requires a lot of cooperation from each other to keep us a strong service provider for our clients and our business customers. 

The Bean Bash is returning on Saturday, October 8th at the Boone County Fairgrounds from 12p - 6p.  Come on out and see us, there's something for everyone!  Proceeds to benefit BAWAC, Inc., New Perceptions, Easterseals Redwood, and Special Olympics Northern Kentucky!

Special thanks to the Bean Bash Committee, as well as all of the donors, sponsors and volunteers who stepped up to help ensure this charity event is a success!  

An afternoon of fun, food and frolicking was had by all!

Check out the fun we had here!

Meet BAWAC's new intern, Anna Rust!

We are pleased to welcome Anna Rust to BAWAC.  Anna is a student at NKU majoring in Social Work. She is in her last semester and is scheduled to graduate in December!  She is doing her Fall semester field placement/practicum with us.  Anna is working 25 hours a week and is splitting her time working with the staff and interns at the Norse Project SEARCH Program and 2 days a week in the CRS program.  Anna is shadowing staff and learning about their various roles and responsibilities.  She is also gaining experience working with persons served and assisting and supporting them with their vocational skills and production tasks.  Anna has already made a positive impact and is doing a great job assisting our clients and staff.  

We can't do it without you...

Contributing to BAWAC allows us to help develop and maximize the vocational potential and quality of life of adult persons with disabilities or other barriers to employment who are often excluded from work through the flexible integration of life and work skills training, job placement, support services and employment in a therapeutic or community based remunerative work environment.
