STEPPING STONES: INNOVATIVE PROGRAMMING FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES

November 21,2026   12:00 PM

Presented by Chris Adams, Executive Director

Get up-to-date on one of our city’s treasured charity organizations founded in 1963, the first of its kind in Southwest Ohio. We’ll learn about its history and mission and how it continues to improve the lives of children, teens and adults with disabilities through life-changing programs. Our speaker will discuss the three core service segments through which the agency operates, explaining the unique role each plays in supporting families and individuals. Stepping Stones is always evolving to meet the needs, and volunteers from the community play a huge role in its success.

The 2026-2027 Scholarship Recipients will be our guests today.

Note: We will be collecting art supplies for Stepping Stones; a list of needed items will be provided.

Board Meeting at 11 am.
