CLASS Inc.’s annual recognition event was held on March 30, 2006
at the Wyndham Hotel. Community partners, staff and people with
disabilities who have realized important achievements during the
past year, were honored.
For the past 30 years, CLASS Inc, has been dedicated to
empowering people with disabilities throughout the Merrimack
Valley, by providing services that promote personal choice, growth
and full participation in their communities.
Individual Achievement Awards were given to Matt Bain, Kathleen
Cadman, Linda Comeau, Seth Faye, Robert Gibbons, Charlie Ruiz and
Tim Tobin. Beth Termini received the Employee of the Year Award
and Bob Ratte was awarded with The Compassion in Action Award.
Employee Services Awards were given to Dan Burke, Tammy Pelletier,
Stephanie Plouffe and Lauri Vermette for their 10 years of
service, while Stephen Bragg, Steve Celi, Holly Fleury, Andrea
Lacson, Wilberto Lugo, Nancy Pepin and Ramona Pichardo were
recognized by their 5 years of service.
State funding alone does not allow CLASS to meet the financial
demands of their services or meet the needs of the families who
look to CLASS for support. Accomplishing this mission would not be
possible without the help and support of community partners. This
year, CLASS Inc, chose to award the Greater Lawrence Family Health
Center, Sovereign Bank, Frank C. Meyer Company and General Mills
with the Community Partner Award.
