Fall 2015 - Happiness House
Newsletter Happenings A Place to Imagine: A Special New Sandbox John McGrath (former CPSE/CSE Chairperson of Phelps Clifton School District) contacted Happiness House regarding the building of a sandbox/play structure for the Geneva playground. John and his family wished to do this in memory of his wife – who was an educator herself. John and his family contacted WFL BOCES and the senior carpentry students from that program and actually built the sandbox from the ground up with the materials that John’s family purchased. The sandbox is now complete and it is beautiful! The sandbox is adorned with a wooden plaque made by McGrath’s grandson. Say Cheese! The Traumatic Brain Injury Photo Club began a Photo Booth project using their new Polaroid camera with the Teens & Tweens group at Happiness House. The children dressed in costume with an Independence Day theme and each went home with a Polaroid picture of themselves. Photo club members made sure the Teens and Tweens received the full model experience helping them with costume and posing. The Photo Club promises additional photo booth opportunities in the future. Jeremiah Iheoma, 11 year old author of “My Super Life with Autism” was the Honorary Chair of the Happiness House Autism Awareness Walk, leading the way in raising awareness during National Autism Awareness month.

I assumed the role of CEO of Rochester Rehabilitation effective March 13, 2015. This Executive Staffing Agreement is quite similar to the agreement established in May 2013 when I became president of CP Rochester/United Cerebral Palsy Association of the Rochester Area following the retirement of that agency’s president. Happiness House and CP Rochester further enhanced their relationship in December 2014 by forming Ability Partners, Inc., a passive parent corporation overseeing both agencies as independent subsidiaries. With this current Executive Staffing Agreement, Happiness House, Rochester Rehabilitation, and CP Rochester remain separate entities. The Boards of Directors of Happiness House, CP Rochester, and Rochester Rehabilitation have worked together over the past few months and recognize the immense value to be gained for all three agencies via this Executive Staffing Agreement. It will enhance the scope of high quality services of the organizations, provide a larger operational platform, leverage resources, and enhance cost-effectiveness. Founded in 1919, Rochester Rehabilitation operates six services in the rehabilitative areas of adaptive sports and inclusive recreation, employment and job support, driver evaluation and training, and mental health services.

This award is given to the student that exemplifies high grades and participation that goes above and beyond that of their classmates in the field of study over a four year period. Two students are awarded this honor per major. Kelsey was a student teacher at Happiness House in the Blue Room at the Geneva site with Lu Ann Ryan and Jill Kaim. Kelsey graduated from Keuka College this year with a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Early Childhood and Special Education with a concentration in Global Studies. Kelsey plans to begin her job search near her home in Chemung, New York. This summer she plans to work at Elderwood at Waverly Nursing Home as a dietary aide. Contratulations Kelsey! All of us at Happiness House wish you the best. Assemblyman Brian Kolb: We need to support those with Autism Excerpted from his post on http://mpnnow.com April 20, 2015 . Each April, we commemorate Autism Awareness Month. At this time we make a special effort to shed light on the issues facing those who live with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and their families. The community is at its best when everyone works together to ensure their neighbors are able to lead a happy and successful lifestyle. Few areas in the state exemplify that like the Finger Lakes region. The Autism Society states that ASD is a complex developmental disability defined by certain behaviors and is a “spectrum condition” that affects individuals differently and to varying degrees. Working together to ensure programs that help those with ASD are adequately funded, we can create a better community for everyone. It is of the utmost importance that we support organizations that help those in need, like Happiness House. Dedicating my time to advocate for and on behalf of those with developmental disabilities has proven to be a truly rewarding experience. Lawmakers in Albany must do their best to strengthen programs that support people with autism, as well as the developmentally disabled. It is our duty to ensure that the people in our communities are able to reach their greatest potential. In the spirit of Autism Awareness Month, I encourage you to learn more about ASD and the people it affects by participating in events that benefit those with autism.

She was honored this year by Rochester Business Journal as recipient of the 2015 Financial Executive of the Year Award. Since being named Executive Vice President/CFO of CP Rochester in 2013, Patti is credited with transforming its financial standing by moving the agency from a $2 million operating deficit to an operating surplus of $1 million. She expanded funding resources at Happiness House and also served on its capital campaign committee, helping the agency to reach its goal of $1.5 million. Patti was the lead financial resource on the synergy committee of both agencies, which developed a parent corporation called Ability Partners Inc. last December; CP Rochester and Happiness House are now both subsidiaries. In addition, she secured $3 million in financing for the construction of a service facility in Canandaigua for Happiness House, a project she especially enjoyed because she could wear a different hat. While it is her job to oversee the financial management of the agencies, she never loses sight of the ultimate goal of her work: to serve people. “Accounting can be done anywhere; why not do it where I can make an impact?” Happenings Summer 2015 7 Sponsors & Donors Annual Appeal Robert Anania Mr. & Mrs. Oliver Appleton Mr. & Mrs. William E.
