In 2006, Governor Jon Corzine signed into
law legislation declaring March of each year
Brain Injury Awareness Month, an initiative
designed to increase awareness of brain injury
through public education and prevention programs.
Bill Swinson , Director of Millburn Library
and OP members.
In keeping with this initiative, Mayor Sandy
Haimoff designated March as Brain Injury
Awareness Month in the town of Millburn and
presented a proclamation to the members of the
Opportunity Project Clubhouse.
The Mayor’s visit was an exciting day for the
members and staff. The Mayor told those in
attendance: “It is my pleasure to be at Opportunity Project. This is a beautiful facility that
helps the members perform activities needed to
reach their goals. This is important to recognize
the seriousness of brain injury and that there are
ways these injuries can be avoided. I look forward to coming again."
WHEREAS, brain injury is the leading
cause of death and disability in this
country, devastating families emotionally and financially; and
WHEREAS, the only cure for brain
injury is prevention through public
awareness and education; and
WHEREAS, some of the most common causes of a brain injury are
falls, motor vehicle collisions, heart
attacks and bicycle crashes; and

Carol Albanese, our Executive Director
thanked Rose Twombly, Executive Director of
the United Way of Millburn-Short Hills by
saying: “We are able to have a banner on Main

Common Association and the sponsorship of
the Millburn-Short Hills Chamber of Commerce”.
We also wish to thank William Swinson, Executive Director of the Millburn Library for
all of his years of support by allowing us to

Chairman’s Message
ACCSES Service Award
Marc E. Berson
On October 20, Carol Albanese,
Executive Director of Opportunity Project, Inc. in Millburn
received the Community Service
Award from ACCSES New Jersey Inc., formerly the New Jersey Association of Rehabilitation Facilities, because of her
exceptional commitment to increasing the employment opportunities for people with disabilities. Tara Kapleau, Opportunity Project Program Coordinator, who nominated Ms. Albanese states” Carol works
diligently in advocating for all people with disabilities”.
Opportunity Project’s “Dream in the Making”
became an exciting reality when the Clubhouse
Program took occupancy of its new building in
March 2005. Empowering people with brain
injury on a daily basis, our programs continue to enrich the lives
of the thousands of supporters, families, friends, and members. A
brighter, larger, interactive space has enabled Opportunity Project’s individuals to flourish. With much to look forward to in the
upcoming months, our Clubhouse remains a site prided on daily
successes and life-altering accomplishments.
Every Wednesday we prepare and enjoy lunch in our state of the
art kitchen. With the help of staff and volunteers, the members
have created a cookbook with hearty recipes from the OP Kitchen
including quesadillas, chocolate chip cookies, and more. Our
cookbook is for sale through the website. This month we are
pleased to announce that the development for our new website is
nearing completion. With the help of web designer, Michael Pilla
of Pilla Marketing Communications, OP is excited to update and
expand its technological services. Our website will integrate new
technological components such as web design and communication
into the vocational program while enabling us to extend ourselves
into the community in various new ways. Thank you Michael for
your time and effort.
Finally, the Speakers’ Bureau provides a chance for members to
publicly share their personal stories to raise awareness of brain
injury. With the desire to reach out to complete strangers, without
fear, the members have shared stories of tragedy and success to
help the community understand their special safe haven.
We need your financial assistance. Our “Dream in the Making”
campaign continues and, I invite you to participate. We will keep
you posted as our plans are finalized planning a Spring Gala in
support of Opportunity Project’s incredible mission.
For the last 8 years as Executive Director of Opportunity
Project, Inc., Carol has built on and expanded the Clubhouse
Program by developing a pilot project with the State of New
Jersey, Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, making Opportunity Project the first Clubhouse site to provide vocational assessment, work adjustment training and supported
employment and job coaching to adults with brain injury. In
accepting the award, she said that “to receive an award for
doing something you love is a wonderful bonus.”
ACCSES New Jersey, formerly the New Jersey Association
of Rehabilitation Facilities is a not-for-profit organization
dedicated to providing leadership and support to members
who advocate for and serve persons with disabilities through
community based programs located throughout New Jersey.
The Association offers a series of activities designed to address the needs and concerns of statewide community rehabilitation program members who directly provide employment and other services to more than 40,000 adults with
significant disabilities.

Member since – Freshmen Year
“Working with Opportunity Project has been an amazing and unique experience. I have learned that a brain injury can disrupt a person’s life on such a
grand scale that any feeling of comfort consistency, or normality becomes
elusive. At Opportunity Project members are able to recover and adapt in
such a way that their lives can become as normal as possible once again;
that is a wonderful accomplishment.”
OP members Matt Torti and John Cunningham with members of
the MHS OP Club and their advisor Suzanne Snyder.

“Since joining the Opportunity Project Club I have been able to learn a tremendous amount about the tragedy of brain trauma, but also the
inspiring strides that Opportunity Project is making to combat this tragedy.”
Congratulations to the previous officers who have graduated:

“I really loved serving Thanksgiving dinner to the members. That is an experience that I will never forget.”
The Millburn High School Opportunity Project Club
An important part of the Opportunity Project network is the Millburn High School Opportunity Project Club. The Club
was founded in 2001 by Kerri Berson, the daughter of the Board Chair of Opportunity Project, Marc Berson. After Kerri’s older
brother, Gary, sustained a brain injury while driving home from school the Berson family, along with other families who had been
affected by brain injury created Opportunity Project to help many adults who have sustained such injuries. Kerri, eager to help the
cause, created the school club as a way to teach other students about brain injuries. After the Club’s creation, Kerri was quoted stating, “It’s a good way to give back to the community without doing what everyone else is doing.” Since its founding, the Club has
grown, changed, and done a lot for the members of Opportunity Project. It truly is one of the more unique and interesting clubs in
the school.
The primary goals of the Club are to raise awareness in the high school and the community about brain injuries, as well as
to plan activities to interact with the members. However, through the years, the Club has helped Opportunity Project in many different ways. It has created Brain Injury Awareness posters and raised funds during Brain Injury Awareness month by selling Opportunity Project bracelets. Club members have created cards and gifts for Opportunity Project members for various holidays.
Members have also helped to serve food at Thanksgiving dinners and organized “getting to
know you” groups. All in all, the Opportunity Project Club is a wonderful and heartwarming
way to give back to the community.
The one participant that has always been an integral part of the Opportunity Project Club is
Suzanne Snyder, a teacher at Millburn High School, and the Club Advisor. She has been the
Club advisor since its beginning and we hope that she holds the position for many years to
come. She recently stated, “I was approached in 2001 by Kerri Berson – she and her friends
asked me to be the advisor and I agreed – It has been a significant part of my professional career.” Through all of the club’s different activities and events Ms. Snyder most enjoyed Sports
Night and the Fashion Show. When asked what she would like to accomplish next year with
the club she stated, “I would simply like to get more students involved and to continue to foster a meaningful relationship with the organization.”

advisor Suzanne Snyder.
The three members that have been Presidents of the Club are Kerri, Jaclyn Tamaroff, and
Jordyn Barry. The Club has around twenty members and is growing.

Opportunity Project Members CARE
Members of Opportunity Project Clubhouse completed another goal of
the organization’s mission statement. TBI Family CARE (Connections,
Assistance, Resources and Education) is a one to one peer support for
people affected by brain injury offered through the Brain Injury Association of New Jersey. They became volunteer mentors through TBI
(Traumatic Brain Injury) Family CARE Program. Mentors act as
guides through the brain injury experience. The program is a way for
others to learn and gain from the experiences of those who have gone
through traumatic brain injury (TBI). Mentors are supervised by Mentor
Coordinator, Wendy Berk, who is a Brain Injury Association staff member.
When the members were asked what they thought of the program, Susan
said “It is needed for someone who has just sustained a brain injury.
Brain injury is a very scary thing.” Tim agreed that “The program has
great potential. My opinion is there is no time limit on recovery from a
brain injury! Mine happened almost 26 years ago and I am still learning

At the young age of 11, Barbara Crandles’ life changed forever. After suffering a
seizure at the breakfast table that left her with a brain injury, Barbara has made it her
mission to let others know that there is a world out there full of people with disabilities who can achieve. By sharing her firsthand experiences of living with a disability through one of her passions, poetry, Barbara connects with people from all walks
of life. While she strives to live more independently and obtain employment, Barbara continues to be quite productive and helpful at Opportunity Project. In her free
time, she enjoys reading and writing poetry, watching sports, and swimming.

In 2004, John sustained a brain injury as the result of a car accident. While driving his
car, another vehicle that had just been hit by a tractor-trailer, slammed into his car so
hard that he was ejected from his car and onto the nearby pavement. Unconscious for
three days, John emerged from his tragedy stronger than ever before. Despite suffering
some significant damage to his brain that has affected his memory, John still manages
to deliver exceptional presentations, reminding his audiences that anyone can rise
above adversity. This easy-going individual, who enjoys reading, sight-seeing, and
listening to soft and easy music, believes that his three girls, one boy, and a greater
awareness of self are his four greatest achievements in life.
Gena, as she is known to her friends, is a survivor of an aneurysm that left her with a
brain injury in 2002. Still a lover of cooking, Gena enjoys creating delicious meals
for her family and friends and assisting in the kitchen on Wednesdays when Opportunity Project has their cooking groups. Gena also has a green thumb. She enjoys doing
some work in her garden and she helps with some of the landscaping at O.P. She is
most proud of her son, five step children, eight grandchildren, and two great grand
kids. As a speaker, Gena is hopeful that her message will increase brain injury awareness and remind her audiences that the ability to persevere exists within all of us.
At just 10 years of age, Adam was hit by a car walking out of school, leaving him
with a traumatic brain injury. After re-learning how to walk, talk, and do so
many other activities of daily living that he once took for granted, Adam began to
create a very active life for himself. He is one of the first members of Opportunity Project and also a volunteer at The Children’s Institute, where he works with
children with disabilities. When he is not making a difference in these programs,
Adam can be found hitting the slopes skiing, swimming at his family’s pool,
playing with his nephews, or cheering on his New York Mets. One of his many
dreams is to appear on the hit television show, “Wheel of Fortune.”

Tim is an acquired brain injury survivor. He did not have an accident, injury, or
any type of trauma. In 1981, Tim had an arterial venous malformation (AVM)
burst and bleed, creating a brain injury. The brain injury left with him with impaired balance and the need to use a wheelchair. It also damaged his vocal cords,
requiring him to use a speaking valve to communicate. In spite of these and many
other challenges, Tim has created a very independent life for himself. He drives
his own van, sews, does light home remodeling, sits on three boards as an advocate
for people with disabilities, and continues to be an active member at Opportunity
Project. His greatest achievement to date: fathering two beautiful children.
In 1981, Michael was riding his moped when he realized his vehicle was running out of
gas. Reaching down to release the reserve gas switch while still driving, he lost his balance, hit a telephone pole, and was sent flying through the air. After spending one
month in a coma with a traumatic brain injury, Michael truly began to defy the odds in
many parts of his life. He was also instrumental in helping the State of New Jersey pass
a law, requiring all moped drivers to wear helmets. Today, Michael continues to help
others, especially his fellow members at Opportunity Project. When he is not making a
positive difference in the lives of others, he can be found watching baseball, shooting
pool, and playing the guitar and piano.

In 1981, Doug suffered a traumatic brain injury as the result of a car accident. He was
only 10 years of age. What would be considered a tragedy by many has been leveraged
into opportunity for Doug. With a desire to pass along his firsthand knowledge of overcoming adversity, Doug continues to pursue his ultimate passion in life, public speaking. As an advocate for people with disabilities, Doug continues to share his message of
hope and perseverance with many diverse audiences. He also continues to be an active
member of Opportunity Project, further developing his communication skills.
One morning back in 1959, an innocent 2 ½ year little girl was outside playing. In one
split second, Susan was stripped of her childhood after she was hit by an automobile that
left her with a traumatic brain injury. In spite of this major setback, Susan has created an
exceptional quality of life for herself. By learning how to walk and talk all over again,
she was well on her way to conquering any limitations that stood in her way. Today,
with a desire to contribute to the lives of others in a positive and empowering way,
Susan has turned to one of her passions, public speaking, to make a difference in the
world. She believes that everyone has his or her own unique experiences from which we
can all learn. An active member of Opportunity Project, Susan can also be found exercising, reading, and writing in her spare time.
Clarence sustained his brain injury in 2001 when he was hit by a drunken driver while
driving his vehicle. As a determined athlete before and after his injury, he continues to
work tirelessly to regain the mind and body he once had. Staying focused with God, he
aspires to resume an active life that will hopefully consist of returning to his old job as a
Maintenance Technician at New Jersey Transit. In the meantime, Clarence stills works
at New Jersey Transit, fulfilling his clerical duties. While speaking to all types of audiences, Clarence, the self-proclaimed “Greatest of All-Time,” enjoys sharing his story
with others and leaving them with a belief that anything is possible. When he is not
interacting with his fellow members at Opportunity Project, Clarence can be found
spending quality time with his wife and three children.

Program Report 2008
Our ongoing philosophy is to continually evaluate the Clubhouse Units to insure that the work is
timely and relevant to the majority of our members. As the Program Coordinator, this is a major
focus. After meeting with our members, it was decided that we would add new workshops and
professional affiliations therefore, I am pleased to announce that Scott Chesney, LLC returned to
the Clubhouse in August to offer an inspiring 12 week workshop called “Maximizing Life after a
Brain Injury.” Some of the topics included are: the power of belief and intention, goal setting, and
finding one’s purpose. The workshops are offered to interested members every Wednesday until
mid November. The feedback from participating members has been excellent.
We are very pleased to have been approached by Kean University to provide a student internship in the field of Occupational Therapy at the Clubhouse. Our members were of course consulted and are pleased with this addition to the program.
We are looking forward to a mutually beneficial relationship. The student intern, Laura Portugal, will have the opportunity
to learn about brain injury as well as gain valuable experiences by working directly with members. She will be a part of our
team, and assist members with a variety of goals. The internship begins in mid September and ends the first week in December.
Lastly, we are pleased to report that during this program year (July 2007- July 2008), 12 new members have started the program. Some of the members joined our vocational unit while others chose either the communications or resource/kitchen
units. Overall, we serve 15 to 23 members a day and have a total membership exceeding 65. If you know of someone with a
brain injury and would like to refer them to our program please contact Arlene Lieberman ext 109 for vocational unit inquires or Rhonda Brown ext 114 for general Clubhouse inquiries.
