Southern Utah TURN is Sponsoring “Pastabilities Down South”

kris — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 17:08:34 +0000

Southern Utah TURN is following in the “saucy” footsteps of TURN along the Wasatch front and will be holding a “Pastabilities” dinner to benefit their newly created Recreation Fund. The Fund will be utilized to assist TURN clients through “Recreation Scholarships” to participate in community activities, vacations, and programs that might otherwise be beyond their ability to afford.

“Pastabilities Down South” will be held from 5pm-8pm, Wednesday, September 29, 2010, at The Grand Lodge at Brianhead. The Grand Lodge has graciously donated the use of their large dining area for the event and will be catering the delicious pasta dinner for only $10 per plate. The Event planners at the Lodge are also helping to provide live music for entertainment and dancing as well as items and advertising for our Silent Auction. We want to thank the Grand Lodge at Brianhead for their generous desire to support TURN in providing disability supports in our area.

We will be recognizing our local TURN clients for their achievements throughout the past year with an awards ceremony during the event. Several community and TURN staff members will also be honored for their contributions to TURN throughout the past.

We would like those wishing to attend “Pastabilites Down South” to RSVP to the Cedar City TURN Office: 435-586-1128.

We hope to see many family, friends, guests and supporters of TURN at what we hope will only be the 1^st such event. We encourage everyone to take advantage of an opportunity to visit The Grand Lodge at Brianhead. Brianhead is located near Cedar Breaks National Monument and is a favorite tourist spot for winter skiing and summer mountain biking. September will also be the best time to enjoy the beauty of the fall leaves in Parowan Canyon on the scenic drive to Brianhead. More information about the Grand Lodge and its amenities can be obtained at www.grandlodgebrianhead.com

Monday August 30, TURN Community Services moved its executive offices from Main Street to the new Artspace Commons in Salt Lake City. Turn Community Service is a non-profit agency that provides supports and services for people with disabilities in Utah. TURN is a statewide provider of services from Ogden to Kanab. The executive offices in Salt Lake City will occupy one full floor on the second level, handicap accessible by elevator, for staff and operations. Two suites on the street level will be used for TURN conference/training rooms and an employee break/lunch room. The added benefit includes moving programs to the space and allowing for housing and program areas as an innovative and cost effective advantage for TURN’s future. The Artspace Commons is a modern, environmentally friendly, structurally safe building with lots of natural light and comfortable space for the TURN community to utilize and is centrally located for multiple functions and operations.

You may visit us at our new location at 423 West 800 South Suite A200, Salt Lake City UT 84101 from 9 am to 4 pm, Monday through Friday except for holidays. Mailing address will remain the same: PO Box 1287, SLC UT 84110-1287.

TURN’s Annual End of Summer Picnic

TURN’s annual End of Summer Picnic was held Saturday, August 28 at the Rice Terrace in Liberty Park. This year’s picnic was everything it promised to be and more! Entertainment was provided by the “Old Leather” band (featuring board members Jim and Janet Witherspoon), and Cowboy Poet Gary Fulton. Jim is lead guitar, Janet is lead vocalist and Gary Fulton adds cowboy poetry as well as his instrumental talents. Janet learned to play and sing country with her parents and performed at care centers. Jim joined Janet in the performances when they became a couple. Shortly after moving into their home in South Jordan, one of the neighbors, upon finding out they like to perform, introduced them to Gary and for nearly 10 years the trio has been performing in competition and at events. Recently they performed for the Provo School District. They are fun, talented and popular with their audiences.

Guests were also enchanted by the appearance of Mrs. Utah America, Ashalon Goodrich. The mother of a 5-year old son with autism, Ashalon is on her way to compete in the Mrs. America Pageant early in September.
