The Quality of Life Day Service Program volunteers go to Prairie Paws Animal Shelter to rehabilitate animals on a weekly basis by giving them attention and love. The animals are given the love and human contact that they need so that they can be adopted.

 The pictures were taken by Jeanette Norton, mother of Tricia Nelson, who also comes to spend time with her daughter.  Special thanks to Tricia’s mom for the great pictures.

House Bill 2626 was introduced to the House Tax Committee this last Tuesday with House Representative Blaine Finch, CEO of COF Training Services, Inc. Chris Patton, as well as several supporters of the bill.

The bill would grant tax credits to businesses that employ individuals with disabilities after a years worth of employment; giving them incentive to give these people the chance to make a difference in themselves and to give back to the community.

Tax-Weight Loss™ is a concept that COF is initiating.  COF is actively helping the people we serve with their Tax-Weight Loss™ by promoting, finding, and creating competitive and integrated employment opportunities.  COF is also trying to positively affect state legislature to create tax and other incentives that will help in our campaign to let the people we serve meet their Tax-Weight Loss goals.  Please check back here soon for updates.

Steven Terry got to display and sell some of his artwork at the Hartford Harvest Days! This event is just a small piece of what COF has and will do to integrate our clients into the community.
