And Community Connections quickly shifted into high gear, too. Core services are provided to the 450 people we serve per day through government funds. It's up to us to creatively finance the vast array of other supports people require to remain successful. This year's efforts were focused on improving the quality and variety of services, reducing reliance on government-only funding and strengthening operations. A carefully planned agency wide reorganization allowed us to reach our goals by promoting and recruiting some very talented employees into Senior and Mid Management while creating new and much needed positions in fund-raising, staff development, marketing and technology.
Additional locations are possible in Greater Southeastern Massachusetts.
Long term financial security has moved us into two different directions. Also, as a partner in the Cape Abilities Collaborative, a consortium of six human service organizations, we are developing an Internet shopping and information center. Due to the efforts and support of all our community members, families, employees and people we serve, Community Connections is ready to enter the new millennium and is eager to serve you to your satisfaction for many years to come.
