This week is Thanksgiving and our office locations will be closed Thursday, November 26th and Friday, November 27th.

I thought I’d also share some of what our employees said they were thankful for:

Deone – I am thankful that disability rights advocates continue to fight for enforcement of the laws and protections that are in-place for people with disabilities.

Julia – I am thankful for sidewalks since I no longer drive, I walk to my destinations.

Susan – I am thankful for my faith, husband, children, grandchildren and that I was born to a poor family from Kansas.

Raylene – I’m thankful for each new morning with its light, rest and shelter for the night, for health and food, for friends and love, and so many other blessings from above.

Tricia – I’m thankful for so much!  I’m thankful that I have the freedom to serve a Mighty God, thankful for our military and their sacrifices, and so thankful for all my family, friends, and my job.

Rita – I am thankful for the Lord our God, for my husband, my loving children and grandchildren, my jobs, coworkers, family and extended. I’m so thankful for my freedom and living in the United States of America.

Donna – I am thankful for my family and friends and for God’s unending love for us all.

As for myself, I’m thankful for several things first off being my son who teaches me how to be a better person.  My mother who has taught me to balance family and work and how to love both.  And my consumers who teach me just as much as I teach them!

Happy Thanksgiving from RCIL!
