October is Community Inclusion Month!
Every October CVS welcomes another Community Inclusion Month! 2022 has been a great year as we emerge from the restraints of the pandemic and get back out into our community as we always have.
This year CVS will be focusing our efforts on communicating the importance of Integration in our community, instead of integration.
CVS will be doing a number of initiatives throughout Inclusion Month this year. You will notice our recent article in the Tri-City News about supporting people with developmental disabilities so they can live the life they choose, published online on their website here. Additionally, there will be some events in the community that we will be letting you know about in the coming weeks. In the meantime, if you pass by our office early next week, you’ll see some signs to wish everyone in our community a Happy Inclusion Month!
