"A hundred years from now, it will not matter what kind of car I drove, what kind of house I lived in, how much money I had in the bank...but the world may be a better place because I made a difference in the life of a child." -- Forest Witcraft

On an annual basis, DDI pays tribute to their employees who have provided years of service as a member of the DDI family, but along with their longevity comes a special level of dedication to their co-workers and most importantly the children that we support on a daily basis.

Fire Truck Frenzy

The Winning Truck

October 9^th-15^th was fire prevention week at DDI. Many departments of DDI were asked to participate in making a fire truck shoe box and also sending a thank you card to our local fire departments. The memo went out and CRP staff were running as if Sirens were blaring. What started out as a DDI project amongst many different DDI departments, turned into a friendly competition between our CRP houses. Staff and students worked together in making these fire trucks and having a fire prevention message placed on it. Each one of the houses had their own flare and twist on the project. Associate Executive Director Kim Kubasek, Safety Manager Lisa Buchter and CRP Director Linda Eisman-Cadel viewed all the shoebox’s and picked the winner. Congratulations to Unit A and great job to all our other houses.

Annual CRP Halloween Party

Written by Ashley Moran |

The Children's Residential Program at Hollywood Drive hosted their Annual Halloween Costume Party on Friday, October 28th, 2011. Family and friends of the CRP enjoyed a night of lively entertainment in the brightly decorated Gymnasium at DDI's Hollywood Drive Campus. The festivities included a DJ, a large moon bouncer followed by a Pizza party dinner. The student's costumes were certainly a part of the entertainment! Unit A was in uniform and dressed in a matching ensemble that displayed the logo "Team A". The Unit B team rolled the clown bus into the gym with 10 of the liveliest clowns in town - from their big bow ties to their little red noses!! Our Unit C gang kept it individualized - including SpongeBob, Fred Flintstone, a magician, a ninja and a surgeon! The Plymouth team arrived onsite to save the day - dressed as some of the best Superhero's and Superwomen around town.'! It was a "spooctacular" event that everyone enjoyed! It was a Halloween to be remembered!
