The clients of Open Door look forward to the week long events at the Sandwich Fair. You know what they say, “There
is something for everyone at a fair.” What they didn’t mention is the price. With the generous sponsorships of our
readers and supporters, all of the clients were able to attend their favorite events and then some. This would not have
been possible without all of your support. Thank you, thank you!!! Here are some highlights of this year’s fair.
Day programs enjoyed the fair Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. While most people were at work over 60 individuals
from Open Door strolled the fair grounds enjoying the animals, music, games, various booths and everyone’s all time
favorite… the food!
The fair is never complete unless you have a few dare devils out for the rides. Thursday, a group enjoyed the wristbands
for over 6 hours…wow, that makes me dizzy!

Saturday was a nice leisurely day and the group was not on a schedule and
didn’t have a care in the world. This was perfect for those who just wanted to
explore! Nothing like a good 8 hours to take your mind off of things.
Sunday is the favorite day for our gear heads to enjoy an afternoon of
demolition derby as cars show off and smash into each other until the last
running car is left standing! The adrenaline is high as the crowd roars! This
turned out to be a very exciting afternoon!

Not only do Open Door clients enjoy the fair, they proudly contribute as well. Just like so many people in the
Sandwich Community that play an important part in making the fair a success, so too do the clients at Open Door.
Did you ever wonder how the Grandstands are so clean for the various events? Several individuals have employment
opportunities if they are willing to get up at the crack of dawn. Open Door has cleaned up for many years and there
is no shortage of individuals that are willing to work. Each event is in need of Open Door’s busy bees. Up early with
brooms, cloths and buckets in hand, they clean the grandstands until they sparkle. They beam at how good their work
looks! What a sense of pride!
A final crew comes in and cleans the grounds after all of the vendors have left. Not so much as a corndog stick is left
after this crew works their magic!!
A very special thank you to all our supporters for making this event filled week possible!!! Thank you, thank-you!!!!
Open Door’s Family Expands
Recently, Open Door has expanded its family. With the newly completed remodel of the Cedar group home, Open Door has
been able to serve a few more individuals and their families from our community. We would like to welcome Paul S., Lauren B.,
and Michelle B. to our Open Door Family.
Lauren B. is originally from the
Plainfield area and lived in a sixteen
bed Intermediate Care Facility at
another agency. In April of 2010,
Lauren and her housemates chose to
attend Open Door’s Day Programs.
From that point on, it was a match
made in paradise. Lauren quickly
made new friends and relationships
with other individuals and staff in
the workshops and homes. She
started working at the Chef’s
Kitchen cooking program and
discovered a love of cooking and
serving others. Lauren loved it so
much at Open Door that she and
her guardian from the “Office of
State Guardian” decided that Lauren
would like to live at Open Door as
well. This past May, Lauren moved
into an opening at the Cedar group
home. She has become a fast friend
to many and is loved for her gentle
nature, infectious laughter and jovial
sense of humor.

workshop

Paul working at his work station at the West

Michelle B. has lived in the DeKalb area for the last twenty-some years at another agency. Her parents have retired out of state
while her siblings live in Sandwich and adjacent communities. It was the wish of Michelle and her family that she live closer to
her siblings so that they may make a seamless transition of guardianship and supports in effect from her parents to her siblings.
In early September, Michelle moved into an opening at the Cedar group home. She is adjusting to her new home very well. She
already has made many new friends and really enjoys the numerous and wide variety of activities that Open Door has to offer in
its programs. Michelle also loves the fact that she is just minutes away from her family members and that they can just “pop in”
whenever they want.
Paul S. has been with Open Door for many years; however, he is new to Open Door’s residential programs. Paul has attended
the Open Door West workshop since January of 1980. During this time, Paul lived with his mother in their house in Plano.
Unfortunately, Paul’s mother passed away last October leaving Paul and his siblings to wonder how Paul would adjust and
manage living on his own without his loving mother’s support. Paul and his family discussed Paul’s needs with Open Door and
together Paul, his siblings, and Open Door decided that the Intermittent CILA program would best serve Paul. The Intermittent
CILA program assists individuals in their own homes with daily living skills needed to maintain a level of independence in the
community. Paul has made the transition exceptionally well and continues to live and thrive in his own home with the support
from his siblings and Open Door.

The Sandwich Post Office - What is Back There?
If you are a frequent patron of our Post Office, have
you ever noted the lovely mural located above the
door to the Office of the Postmaster? That mural
was commissioned by Marshall Frederick who was
a renowned sculptor. Bob told us that Mr. Frederick
made sculptures for multiple libraries. What is really
cool is that he tried to make them so they represented
the heart of the town. In this case, Sandwich was a
farming community so our sculpture has horses, sheep,
and pigs. If you have not seen this sculpture, Jen M.
said that it “is very pretty.”
Bill W. and Brian H. are watching the vault while it’s open.
Many of the people of Sandwich know the friendly
staff at our local Post Office and those who cover the
routes, but how many of us actually know the story
of the building or what they do in the back? If you
are thinking that some of us from Open Door went to
investigate, you are right!
Post Office employee, Bob, offered to be our tour
guide. We were very lucky to have him because he
sure knows a lot about the building’s history along
with how it operates. Bob told us that the building
was built during the Great Depression back in 1938.
Construction began in 1936 in an interesting manner;
the vault came first and the Post Office was built
around it. Bill W. was very impressed by the thickness
of the vault walls. Bill W. said that “they built things
strong back then.” In case you are wondering, the
Sandwich and Plano Post Offices are the only ones in
our area that still use the buildings constructed from
this era.
Bob showed us the path that letters take from start
to finish. Angela T. was impressed by the stacks and
stacks of empty postal bins from sorted mail when she
stated “that is a lot of boxes.” We also got to see the
box for Open Door’s mail. Lynn S. said “that is a big
box for a lot of mail. I certainly think that Open Door
gets a lot of mail.”
John G. looks like he is getting comfortable
behind the wheel!
John G thought that the highlight of the trip was
getting to go out back, climb through the back of an
actual Post Office truck, and get his picture taken from
the driver’s seat. “I like the trucks and the seat was
comfy,” said John.
So all and all it was a fun day and we all learned a
little something. Daniel P. said that he learned that
“there is a lot going on in the back that we don’t see
up front.” Thanks Bob for the tour and the rest of the
staff for the smiles. We are thinking of adopting the
code of the Post Office, what do you think? “Neither
rain, nor snow, nor sleet, nor hail shall keep the gang
at Open Door from getting the most out of life and
appreciating opportunities as they show themselves.”
What do you think?
Lynn S. likes the mural.

through a lot of mail!
Working at the Car Wash, Yea….
So this summer was a hot and dry one…no doubt about
it. In July, we planned a car wash to raise money for
programs here at Open Door. I was really worried it
would be so hot that we couldn’t be out all day washing
cars in the hot, hot sun. So the day came and what do
you know? A beautiful sunny day that was nice and
mild showed up in the middle of our hot streak just in
time for our car wash!
Daniel P.
Eating Lunch: All our supporters!! Thanks!
Austin C. working on finishing up a big truck!
Group Drying: One big team!
We had about ten consumers ready to work; grabbing
towels and rags, filling buckets, just waiting for that first
car. It started off a little slow, but an hour or so in we
had lines forming! A staff member pulled his truck up
and cranked the tunes which just got everyone in a great
mood, singing and dancing while scrubbing down the
cars of employees, friends, neighbors and strangers… all
here to support Open Door!
The smell of hot dogs filled the air, water was flying
and soap was bubbling all over! Next to arrive were the
water guns and super soakers! Don’t get me wrong, it
was a beautiful day and not as hot as it had been, but
the sun was bright and we were working up a sweat.
The water guns were a nice cool down for everyone. We
moved some picnic tables up and we had folks sitting,
eating, talking and enjoying some time at the west
workshop. Our friends from Castle Bank came down
for lunch and a car wash too. A few people brought one
car and then went home to get their other cars! In fact,
at one point we had a line of eight cars waiting for the
wash!
Brandon S. and Stephanie K. work with Chef ’s Kitchen doing the hotdog lunch.
All of the consumers worked really hard, whether washing or drying, taking money or helping with the hot dog
lunch. We even had a few others who weren’t already signed up to work join in the fun! It was a great turn out and
a fun day. We want to thank everyone for coming out to support us during the car wash and we hope to see you
again next year!
